Housing rights march called for Viana do Castelo's main square on 14 November

The Casa para Viver platform will hold a demonstration in Praça da República, Viana do Castelo, on 14 November, calling for concrete measures to make housing affordable for local families. The movement says rising house prices and rents are an increasing worry in the city. Its demands include more public housing built, bought and rehabilitated by the State, lower rents, action against property speculation, and greater protection for tenants through stable leases and limits on rent rises. It also wants to stop young people, workers and low-income households being pushed out of the cities where they live and work, and urges residents to join.
