Demonstrations and public assemblies on the right to housing are scheduled for this Saturday across several cities in the country. In Lisbon, Acampada de Lisboa has called for a demonstration at 15:00, with a route from Marquês de Pombal to Rossio. In Porto, according to reports, protests are also planned for the afternoon of the same day.

In Évora, a public assembly decided to move the protest location to the city's so-called "living room." The protests in Évora are scheduled for 18:00 on Saturday, with a continuation planned for October 30.

The organizers of the protests indicate that the actions aim to demand measures to address the housing sector crisis. The civic movements promoting these mobilizations are keeping their focus on Saturday's demonstrations, according to information circulated by various news outlets.

Beyond Saturday's protest, further moments of action are planned. In Évora, in addition to the Saturday demonstration at 18:00, a second demonstration is scheduled for October 30, revealing the intention to maintain pressure on the housing issue.

The actions are part of a continuous series of protests that civic movements have maintained on the housing issue in the country, with different cities participating in the mobilizations.

Details about routes, specific times and expected number of participants vary depending on local organizations in each city, reflecting the decentralized nature of these demonstrations.
