Two hundred gather in Braga backing Lisbon and Porto housing camps

Around 200 people, mostly young people and University of Minho students, gathered in Braga's Praça da República on Monday evening in solidarity with the protest camps in Lisbon and Porto and to call for better housing. The spokesperson said the event was spontaneous, spread on social media and followed the police action in both cities overnight. Protesters sang Grândola Vila Morena while four police officers watched from a distance. A more organised People's Assembly, without tents, is planned for Wednesday at 18:30 in the same square. The wave of protests began in Porto on 10 May over housing and the cost of living.
