Story summary

On November 2, 2026, Portugal's housing protesters celebrated in Lisbon after a court ruled that activist Renata Cambra could set up a tent in Rossio Square, where police had previously cleared demonstrators over the weekend. The decision overturned an automatic curfew used by officers to demand that protesters leave, recognizing the tents as a symbolic part of the demonstration rather than an illegal occupation of public space. This ruling supports the Acampada movement, which campaigns against Portugal's housing crisis and laws governing relations between landlords and tenants. Activist Cambra notes that house prices have risen sharply, making decent accommodation increasingly difficult to find, exacerbated by tourism, short-term rentals, and luxury properties driving up housing costs. The court's decision gives demonstrators a legal basis to continue their protest in Rossio Square.
