Coimbra protesters demand housing crisis action

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

Around 200 people protested in Coimbra's Praça 8 de Maio on Saturday against the housing crisis, calling for an end to the "evictions law." Demonstrators gathered after 3:30 pm chanting slogans for housing rights, with banners reading "Home for those who inhabit, land for those who work." Organizer Rebeca Moore said rent values often exceed average salaries while real estate funds profit millions. Protesters demanded rent caps, a ban on property purchases by investment funds, and an end to evictions. Participants included parents of young adults unable to leave home and a researcher lacking financial stability. A popular assembly was also scheduled.
