成千上万的住房抗议者周六重返里斯本主要广场之一，加大对葡萄牙少数派中右翼政府的压力，要求其撤回一项租赁法案，抗议者称该法案将加剧该国的住房负担危机。
Thousands of housing protesters returned to one of Lisbon's main squares on Saturday, stepping up pressure on Portugal's minority centre-right government to scrap a rental bill they say would worsen the country's affordability crisis.
文/塞尔吉奥·贡卡尔维斯、罗德里戈·安图内斯 葡萄牙正面临欧洲最严重的住房危机之一，年轻人是受冲击最严重的群体之一。自2017年以来，房价翻了一倍多，新租约的租金也几乎翻了一倍。
By Sergio Goncalves, Rodrigo Antunes Portugal is grappling with one of Europe's worst housing crises, with young people among those hardest hit. House prices have more than doubled since 2017 and rents for new leases have nearly doubled.
组织者称，数千人挤满了里斯本市中心的罗西乌广场。警方未给出人数估计。
Organisers said several thousand people packed Rossio Square in central Lisbon. Police gave no crowd estimate.
近几周住房抗议活动愈演愈烈。一周前，警方在同一广场清理类似的帐篷营地时，因冲锋殴打示威者并逮捕数十人而受到批评。
Housing protests have intensified in recent weeks. Police have been criticized for baton-charging demonstrators and arresting dozens while clearing a similar tent camp in the same square a week ago.
住房运动组织“居住之家”的发言人丽塔·席尔瓦对公共广播电台RTP表示，在针对住房危机、生活成本上涨以及“如今谋生的巨大困难”持续数周的抗议后，“人们展现出了巨大的毅力、力量和决心”。
Rita Silva, a spokesperson for housing movement Casa para Viver, told public broadcaster RTP that "people are showing enormous perseverance, strength and determination" after weeks of protests over the housing crisis, rising living costs and "the enormous difficulty of making a living today".
她说：“我们没有看到政府有任何倾听的意愿……示威活动将继续。”
"We are not seeing any willingness from the government to listen ...the demonstrations will continue," she said.
这场动荡与西班牙、法国、德国及欧洲其他地区因住房成本飙升而爆发的抗议如出一辙。
The unrest mirrors protests across Spain, France, Germany and elsewhere in Europe over soaring housing costs.
内政部长路易斯·内维斯表示，政府尊重抗议的合法性，但期望抗议活动“秩序井然、文明有序”且“遵守法律”。抗议者要求政府撤回一项让驱逐租客更容易、并取消新租约租金上限的法案，该法案在极右翼“够了！”党弃权的情况下通过了议会首轮审议。
Interior Minister Luis Neves said the government respected the legitimacy of the protests but expected them to be held "with order, civility" and "in compliance with the law." The protesters are demanding the government scrap a bill making evictions easier and ending rent caps on new leases, which passed a first parliamentary reading with the abstention of the far-right Chega party.
总理路易斯·蒙特内格罗周四排除了撤回法案的可能性，但表示愿意在未来几周的最终表决前对其进行修改，称各党“必须靠拢”，同时明确表示“主要行动路线是政府纲领”。
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro on Thursday ruled out scrapping the bill but said he was open to amending it ahead of a final vote in coming weeks, saying parties "have to move closer" while making clear "the main line of action is the government's programme".
社会党领袖若泽·路易斯·卡内鲁周六敦促政府与反对党和抗议者进行对话，而不是“傲慢地强加其观点，有时甚至带有威权色彩”。
Socialist Party leader Jose Luis Carneiro urged the government on Saturday to engage in talks with opposition parties and protesters rather than "arrogantly imposing its views, sometimes even with authoritarian overtones".
