巴里·哈顿 葡萄牙里斯本——葡萄牙议会周二开始辩论中右翼政府明年的支出计划，而在此之前，抗议者将举行最新一场示威，要求采取更多行动解决持续已久且不断加深的住房危机。
BARRY HATTON LISBON, Portugal — Portugal’s Parliament on Tuesday began debating the center-right government’s spending plans for next year, ahead of the latest demonstration by protesters demanding more action to address a prolonged and deepening housing crisis .
最近几周的抗议活动——其中一些在里斯本市中心广场举行，并被警方用警棍和警犬驱散——效仿了邻国西班牙上月因类似的不满而开始的示威活动，抗议者抱怨住房价格难以承受。
Protests in recent weeks, some of them staged in Lisbon’s downtown squares and broken up by police with batons and dogs, took their cue from demonstrations that began in neighboring Spain last month over similar complaints about unaffordable housing.
周二晚些时候，一场示威活动已宣布将在里斯本市中心议会大楼外举行。
A demonstration was announced for later Tuesday outside the parliament building in central Lisbon.
今年秋天，欧洲各地爆发了广泛的街头社会动荡。葡萄牙总统安东尼奥·若泽·塞古罗的角色主要是礼仪性的，但拥有政治影响力，他已召集国务委员会——一个咨询机构——于下周召开会议讨论抗议活动。
Wide social unrest in the streets has erupted across Europe this autumn. Portuguese President António José Seguro, whose role is mostly ceremonial but who wields political influence, has convened a Council of State, an advisory body, for a meeting next week to discuss the protests.
欧盟去年年底发布的一份报告称，2015年至2025年间，欧洲各地的住房成本平均飙升了60.5%。葡萄牙在此期间涨幅位居第三，达147%，仅次于匈牙利和立陶宛。
A European Union report published at the end of last year said that housing costs surged across Europe by an average of 60.5% between 2015 and 2025. Portugal’s increase over that period was the third highest, at 147%, after Hungary and Lithuania.
没有迹象表明成本增长正在放缓。政府机构国家统计局上周表示，从去年第一季度到2026年第一季度，房价上涨了近20%。
There is no sign that the growth in costs is slowing. Between the first quarter of last year and the first quarter of 2026, housing prices rose by almost 20%, the National Statistics Institute, a government agency, said last week.
据政府称，租金价格也大幅攀升，自2020年以来上涨了68%。
Rental prices, too, have climbed significantly, recording a 68% increase since 2020, according to the government.
外国买家和投资基金通过购买葡萄牙房产（包括破旧建筑）推高了价格。该国宜人的气候和漫长的海岸线使其越来越受数字游民和其他远程工作者以及退休人员的欢迎。旅游业也大幅增长，许多市中心的公寓被改成了短租民宿。
Foreign buyers and investment funds have pushed up prices by buying Portuguese properties, including dilapidated buildings. The country’s pleasant climate and long coastline have helped it grow popular with digital nomads and other remote workers, as well as retirees. Tourism has also surged, with many city center apartments turned into short-term rentals.
当地人说，他们因房价过高而被挤出房地产市场。年轻人抱怨自己买不起房，父母则抱怨子女不得不搬到很远的地方才能找到住处。与此同时，一些葡萄牙人通过出售房屋获得了可观的利润。
Local people say they are being priced out of the property market. Young people complain they can’t get a foot on the property ladder, and parents complain their children have to move far away to find a home. At the same time, some Portuguese have made substantial profits by selling their homes.
政府已采取应对措施，如下调新建房屋的税收、限制短租，并承诺建造14.5万套新住房，尽管政府承认这些措施的效果不会立竿见影。
The government has responded with measures such as lowering taxes on new construction, restricting short-term rentals and promising to build 145,000 new homes, although it acknowledges that the effects won’t be immediate.
2027年基础设施发展资金将更加紧缺，因为欧盟新冠疫情后经济复苏计划下的融资将于今年结束。
Infrastructure development funds will be scarcer in 2027 as financing under the European Union’s post-COVID-19 economic recovery program ends this year.
葡萄牙尚未出现其他一些欧洲国家那样的暴力、纵火和抢劫规模，尽管抗议者抱怨警方在清理城市广场上搭建的帐篷时执法过重。当局正在评估使用警棍和警犬是否过度。
Portugal hasn’t seen the scale of violence, arson and looting witnessed in some other European countries, although protesters have complained about heavy-handed policing during the removal of tents erected in city squares. Authorities are evaluating whether the use of batons and police dogs was excessive.
