Without a vote and without a camp, São Bento filled up for housing

Helena joined a housing protest in Lisbon, emphasizing the need for affordable housing for future generations. The demonstration attracted between 5,000 and 7,000 participants, highlighting growing public awareness of the housing crisis. Despite plans for an overnight camp outside Parliament, organizers decided against it due to safety concerns. The protest featured diverse voices, including a young woman who returned from Switzerland, expressing her desire to come back to Portugal. Performances and speeches criticized government policies and called for action against rising rents. As the night progressed, many participants began to leave, reflecting on the ongoing housing struggles in the city.
