Concerns are growing over the possibility of further unrest in Portugal as housing protests continue in Porto and organisers prepare for a similar demonstration in Lisbon on Saturday, October 17.
Porto already has tents and Lisbon can follow its steps, a movement inspired by Spain. But who are the people and organizations behind these demonstrations? And what do they really want to change?
After the protests in Porto, the mobilization for the right to housing now arrives in Lisbon. The organizers call for a demonstration for Saturday, in Rossio, with an appeal to assemble tents on the streets and to challenge a crisis that they say is not inevitable.
