On November 14, 2026, tens of thousands of people marched in more than 30 cities and towns across Portugal, including Lisbon and Porto, in the largest demonstration so far against surging housing prices. Participants, ranging from teenagers to retirees, called for rent caps, stronger tenant protections, and more affordable housing. The protests, organized by the Casa Para Viver (A Home to Live In) platform under the slogan “They will not steal our right to a home,” reflected growing anger over housing prices that have risen much faster than incomes over the past decade. Police had previously cleared some protest camps, leading to accusations of heavy-handed tactics.
