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

Seven European countries, including Portugal, have organized simultaneous protests on November 20-22 to address the housing crisis and rising living costs. The coordinated action, initiated in Paris, focuses on three main demands: controlling housing prices, increasing wages and pensions, and halting military rearmament. Various labor unions and student movements from Belgium, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, and the UK participated in the planning. The protests aim to highlight the inaccessibility of housing and the rising costs of basic necessities, while also advocating for universal public services and taxing the wealthy. The movements emphasize solidarity as a key organizational tool.
