Housing Activists Plan Saturday March and Rossio Camp Return
Housing rights movement Acampada de Lisboa announced that protesters will set up tents and stay overnight in Lisbon's Rossio square on Saturday. The demonstration begins at Largo de Camões at 4:00 PM before marching to Rossio under the slogan demanding secure housing. The action follows earlier encampments that drew national political attention to rising rent and living costs across the capital.
Acampada de Lisboa (Lisbon Encampment) is a civic activist movement that sets up public tent encampments in central Lisbon to protest the housing crisis. The group organizes demonstrations demanding affordable rent, expanded social housing, and stricter controls on property speculation. Their actions highlight how rising living costs and housing shortages affect residents in the capital.
