The housing movement occupying Praça D. João I in Porto has decided to extend its protest warning until December 31. This action follows a week of continuous protests where demonstrators demand solutions to the housing crisis in Portugal.

According to reports, the protests in Porto have entered their tenth day, while demonstrations in Lisbon have been ongoing for seven days. The protesters have been advocating for the right to housing, reflecting a growing concern about housing affordability in the country.

In addition to extending the protest warning, participants in Porto have invited Pedro Duarte to join the popular assembly. This invitation is part of the movement's mobilization initiative and aims to gather further support.

The protests have been prominent on the national public agenda, signaling the continuation of a debate on housing in Portugal. Organizers hope that extending the warning will bring more visibility and support to their causes in the coming weeks.

Praça D. João I has been a central meeting point where protesters gather to discuss strategies and demands. The extended pre-warning action is seen as a way to pressure authorities to address the housing issue.

The housing question remains a critical topic in Portugal, and the ongoing protests reflect the difficulties many face in finding adequate and affordable housing. The situation in Porto indicates the social tensions surrounding housing policy.
