Tens of thousands of Portuguese citizens protested in over 30 cities against soaring housing prices, which have made buying or renting unaffordable. Activists have camped in major squares, demanding rent caps and better tenant protections. The protests were inspired by similar demonstrations in Spain. Housing prices in Portugal have risen significantly, outpacing income growth, with a 61% increase in the housing-to-income ratio since 2015. The government has proposed measures to address the crisis, including tax reductions for new constructions and plans for 145,000 new homes, but acknowledges that results will take time.
