Housing Protesters Camp in Lisbon's Rossio Square

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

Protesters set up tents and filled Lisbon's Rossio square with anti-government signs on Saturday, launching a housing protest camp shortly after 5 p.m. Organized under the slogan "Can't take it anymore? Then pitch your tent!", the protest follows recent demonstrations and began after a CGTP rally for wage increases. It also expresses solidarity with Porto's camp, which police dismantled Thursday. Participants gathered around the statue of King Pedro IV, played "Grândola, Vila Morena," and chanted slogans like "April 25 always, fascism never again." Many signs criticized Prime Minister Luís Montenegro's call for movements and parties to act unselfishly.
