Porto. Extraordinary assembly will discuss housing

The Livre party has called for an extraordinary session of the Porto Municipal Assembly to address housing issues, emphasizing the need for political responses to recent public mobilization. The session, scheduled for November 16, 2026, will focus on housing, public space, and community building. Proposals include increasing public housing availability, addressing vacant public and private buildings, and promoting cooperatives.

João I, calling for accountability from the municipal president regarding the use of force against peaceful demonstrators.
