Representatives from housing protest encampments in Lisbon and Porto are scheduled to meet with the President of the Republic at Belém Palace on Friday to present demands over the country's housing crisis. The meeting, arranged alongside the Home to Live platform (Casa Para Viver), was moved from Thursday because of bad weather caused by Storm Charles.
The activist network, which organized public camp-ins under the Acampada banner in Porto and Lisbon, previously planned actions targeting the Web Summit tech conference at Parque das Nações. Campaigners continue to demand nationwide rent caps and stricter limits on luxury property developments, while solidarity rallies also took place outside Portugal, including a gathering of Portuguese emigrants in Berlin.
