Around 200 protest in Faro over Algarve housing costs

About 200 people gathered at the entrance to Faro to demand the right to housing, saying property and rental prices in the Algarve are beyond the reach of most workers. The protest was called less than 48 hours in advance, and organiser Afonso Horta said turnout exceeded expectations. Participants described young adults stuck living with their parents and a mother of two who relies on family money to pay the rent. They argued that housing policy should not be limited to people under 35. Organisers now plan a larger march on 14 November.
