Portugal and six other countries call for simultaneous protests over three days

Seven European countries, including Portugal, have organized simultaneous protests on November 20, 21, and 22 to address the housing crisis. The main demands include controlling housing prices, increasing wages and pensions, and halting military escalation in Europe. The initiative was coordinated by tenant unions and movements from Belgium, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, and the UK, with participation from various groups in Portugal. The protests aim to highlight the rising cost of living, particularly in housing and basic necessities, and to advocate for universal public services and taxation of the wealthy. The collective action reflects a commitment to solidarity and organized resistance against austerity measures and the arms race.
