Portugal Curbs Housing Protests
Portuguese police cleared a protest camp in Lisbon’s Rossio Square after a march attended by thousands, during which protesters set up more than 50 tents to oppose a rent bill. Police dispersed protesters who tried to protect the camp and dismantled a smaller camp in Porto, drawing criticism over the use of batons and the arrest of demonstrators. Protesters are demanding that the bill be withdrawn, saying it would make evictions easier and end the cap on new rents. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro has ruled out withdrawing it, but said he is willing to amend it before the final vote.
