Activists sleep outdoors in Lisbon
Approximately 200 housing rights activists slept outdoors in Lisbon from Tuesday to Wednesday, continuing their protest against the housing crisis in Portugal. Protest follows police action
The protest occurred two days after Portuguese police dismantled the activists' camp, which had been set up to draw attention to the lack of affordable housing and rising rents. Inspired by Spanish movements
The activists were inspired by similar mobilizations in Spain, where people have organized large-scale protests to demand housing reforms and better living conditions. Goal is to highlight housing crisis
The outdoor sleep-in was intended to bring public attention to the growing housing crisis in Portugal, where many struggle to find affordable homes and face increasing pressure from rising property prices.
