Thousands protested in Lisbon's Rossio Square today, demanding the repeal of a proposed rental law that critics say threatens housing stability, per Reuters.

Demonstrators, including youth and workers, gathered to voice opposition to rising living costs and the government's housing policies, according to news.az.

The protests reflect broader discontent over Portugal's cost-of-living crisis, with activists calling for stronger tenant protections and a halt to the controversial legislation, as reported by internazionale.it.
