Faro to host housing rights march after talk by Lisbon researcher

A housing rights demonstration called "Casas para Viver" takes place in Faro on Tuesday 27 October at 19:00, outside the Algarve regional development commission (CCDR). Beforehand, at 17:30, researcher Simone Tulumello of the University of Lisbon's Institute of Social Sciences discusses his 2024 book on housing policy at the SRAF artists' space. Both events were announced by the Plataforma Algarve em Resistência, a collective that has helped organise several housing protests in the region in recent weeks. It links the Faro action to similar protests and camp-outs in Porto, Lisbon and Madrid, and argues that popular pressure has historically driven housing gains since 1974.
