Thousands of protesters returned to central squares in Portugal's major cities on Tuesday, vowing to maintain demonstrations against a deepening housing affordability crisis after police detained 55 people. The renewed mobilization followed early morning raids that cleared tent camps in Lisbon and Porto. The demonstrations mirror broader cost-of-living unrest across western Europe, including in Spain and France as housing costs surge.
