Students block schools in Lisbon: "We occupy the streets to demand housing, we will occupy the schools to demand education"
Students in Lisbon are blocking two secondary schools to demand better education and protest against rising living costs and housing crises. The protests, organized by Chumbado.PT, aim to highlight the impact of these issues on their future. Students are calling for increased investment in schools and improved conditions for accessing higher education. They plan to continue their actions throughout the week, expanding to more schools and streets, while also mobilizing for a housing demonstration scheduled for Saturday. The protests reflect broader concerns about climate action and international issues, including opposition to war investments.
