What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Protests occurred in Lisbon and Porto against a rental bill being advanced by the minority centre-right government in Portugal. The bill, which aims to make evictions easier and end rent caps on new leases, passed a first parliamentary reading with the abstention of the far-right Chega party. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro stated he would not scrap the bill but was open to amending it before a final vote.
