Protest over housing crisis over the weekend in Aveiro

Thirteen cities across the country will take to the streets next weekend, in demonstrations called by the Casa para Viver platform, with the aim of highlighting that “the housing situation cannot continue”.

Between Saturday and Sunday, Coimbra, Aveiro, Beja, Braga, Covilhã, Elvas, Faro, Lisbon, Portimão, Porto, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo and Viseu will promote a day of struggle for housing and present an Emergency Demand Booklet for the problem, with twelve points .

First of all, they propose rent control “as an urgent and necessary measure at this time” and, in parallel, increasing the duration of rental contracts to ten years, highlighted, in statements to Lusa, André Escoval, one of the spokespeople for the Casa para Viver platform and member of the Porta a Porta movement.

The platform also identifies “the needs” to limit local accommodation, prohibiting new licenses and ending tax benefits.

Stopping “all forms of eviction without decent housing alternatives” is another requirement. “We cannot make a problem worse, which is already serious in itself,” stresses André Escoval.

On the other hand, “it is necessary to put all empty houses on the rental market, starting with public property” and excluding second homes and emigrants’ homes.
