Lisbon housing camp calls Saturday march from Marquês de Pombal to Rossio

The Acampada de Lisboa movement is urging people to join a Saturday march against property speculation and for the right to housing, leaving Marquês de Pombal at 3pm for Rossio square. Porto will hold its own march and Braga a popular assembly the same day. Assemblies in Lisbon now meet daily at 7pm, and the movement wants the unions to call a general strike on 11 November. Its demands include repealing the new tenancy law, stopping evictions without alternative housing, rent caps and more public housing. The protests began in Porto on 10 October. In Lisbon, 55 detainees are due before a judge on 27 October.
