葡萄牙里斯本数万人上街游行 抗议生活成本与住房危机
里斯本——数万名抗议者10月17日（周六）走上里斯本市中心街头，抗议生活成本飙升与日益加深的住房危机，向中右翼政府施压。发起游行的葡萄牙最大工会CGTP称，「数万」人挤满了首都的一条主要大道；警方未给出人数估计。
抗议者说，低工资赶不上住房成本与生活开支的涨幅，许多人在这个欧盟与北约成员国里入不敷出。此次游行之前数日，住房活动人士在北部城市波尔图搭建的帐篷营地，已被警方在周一凌晨的行动中清除。
葡萄牙通胀率9月升至3.6%，由食品与燃料价格推动，其中燃料价格同比上涨15%，与中东紧张局势升温有关。自2017年以来，葡萄牙房价已翻了一倍多，新租约租金也接近翻倍，形成欧洲最严重的住房负担危机之一，压力在大城市最为集中。（GSM 据路透社报道）
Tens of Thousands March in Lisbon Over Housing and Living Costs
LISBON — Tens of thousands of people marched through central Lisbon on Saturday, October 17, to protest against soaring living costs and a deepening housing crisis in Portugal, increasing pressure on the centre-right government. Portugal's biggest union, CGTP, which called the rally, said "many tens of thousands" packed one of the capital's main avenues. Police gave no crowd estimate.
Protesters say low wages are failing to keep pace with housing costs and the rising cost of living, leaving many people struggling to make ends meet in the European Union and NATO member state. The demonstration followed days of growing unrest, including a tent camp set up by housing activists in the northern city of Porto that police cleared in a pre-dawn operation on Monday.
Portugal's inflation hit 3.6 percent in September, driven by rising food and fuel prices, the latter up 15 percent year-on-year following an increase in tensions in the Middle East. House prices have more than doubled since 2017, while rents for new leases have nearly doubled, fuelling one of Europe's worst housing affordability crises. The squeeze is most acute in major cities.
