200 Protest in Faro Against High Housing Prices

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

Around 200 people protested in Faro on Saturday for the right to housing, denouncing high property prices in the Algarve and demanding solutions for workers to live in the region. Protesters gathered at the city entrance with signs like "Living in this city is a luxury" and "Houses to live in, not to speculate." Organizer Afonso Horta said turnout exceeded expectations given the short notice, and a larger march is planned for November 14. Participants included 26-year-old Cátia Figueiredo, who still lives with her parents, and Telma Assunção, a mother of two who relies on family financial help to pay rent. Both called for broader measures beyond youth-focused policies.
