Police Clear Housing Protests
Thousands of Portuguese residents pressed the government to scrap a rental bill as police stormed housing protest camps in Lisbon and Porto, per France 24.
Clashes erupted when authorities moved in to dismantle the camps, with 13 people arrested in the process, according to Reuters reports.
The unrest reflects mounting public anger over housing affordability and government policies, as residents demand immediate action on rental reforms, Bloomberg notes.
