Briefings

Thousands of demonstrators are gathering in Lisbon to demand dignified housing after the Acampada movement began in Porto on October 10, 2026. Police have already blocked traffic for half an hour, forcing protesters to separate into two lines on Avenida da Liberdade. A mobile tent camp is set up to lead the protest, which is expected to grow. The Acampada has installed itself at Praça D. Pedro IV since the October 17 demonstration organized by CGTP, remaining until the police intervention on the previous Wednesday, where tents were dismantled, 55 people were detained, and activists' property was seized. The movement is scheduled to return to Lisbon on the following Saturday after the protest concludes at Rossio.

Key points
