Thousands fill Rossio Square in Lisbon and prepare for a "mega camp"

Thousands of protesters gathered in Rossio Square, Lisbon, to demand housing rights and set up tents for a "mega camp." The Acampada de Lisboa movement has been active since Saturday, calling for government action to address the housing crisis. Protesters voiced their demands for rent law reversals, increased public housing, and limits on rent prices. The protests began in Porto on October 10 and have spread to other cities following the approval of a new rental law. Authorities have previously intervened, removing tents and detaining demonstrators, but organizers vow to continue their actions.
