Thousands Return to Lisbon Square To Demand End of Rental Bill

Thousands of housing protesters returned to Rossio Square in central Lisbon on Saturday, pressing Portugal’s minority centre-right government to scrap a rental bill that would make evictions easier and end rent caps on new leases. Organisers said several thousand people took part; police gave no estimate. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro said Thursday he would not scrap the bill but was open to amending it before a final vote. Reuters notes house prices have more than doubled since 2017.
