In an opinion article published in the Portuguese newspaper Público, Sandra Marques Pereira, Integrated Researcher, specialising in housing and urban sociology, examines the growing mobilisation around housing issues, highlighting the alliance between trade unions and social movements that has led to a call for a general strike.
The situation involving Maricarmen in Spain has brought the housing crisis to the centre of political and social debate, with repercussions extending beyond the country's borders.
Drawing on the concept of housing discontent, the researcher reflects on the social and political impacts of the housing crisis and examines the measures proposed by the Portuguese Government in this context.
