A series of protests are taking place in Portugal in reaction to the country's ongoing affordable housing costs crisis. Demonstrations started as early as March 2026 protesting rising housing costs, but escalated to larger and ongoing protests after the police violently intervened on an encampment on 15 October 2026 in Porto, injuring over 30 protesters. In reaction, the protests grew to other cities around the country, leading to dozens of arrests and over 100 injured protesters.
