Housing Movement. The evolution of the wave of protests in Lisbon and Porto

President António José Seguro has called parliamentary parties for individual hearings on social cohesion on October 29, following the state budget vote. He expressed concerns about socioeconomic inequalities and urged collaboration between the government and opposition. Amid housing protests, a citizen criticized vandalism and emphasized respect during demonstrations. The Minister of Internal Administration highlighted the government's commitment to finding housing solutions and stated that police actions are lawful. Meanwhile, interest rates for housing loans have risen, reaching a yearly high, impacting monthly payments. Activists maintain their right to protest despite police interventions, asserting housing as a fundamental right.
