Coins reinforces warning: "The law must be respected"

Lisbon's Mayor Carlos Moedas expressed full solidarity with housing protesters, acknowledging their cause as just but emphasizing the need to respect the law during demonstrations. He highlighted the housing crisis as a significant issue, advocating for new construction and support for families struggling with rent. Moedas noted that while the municipality has delivered new housing units, it is insufficient to meet the city's needs. Protests against the housing crisis continue, with further demonstrations planned in Lisbon and Porto, following incidents of police violence and arrests during previous protests.
