Well, in Portugal a smallish group set up a peaceful tent camp in a square in Porto and the Municipal Police, apparently under orders from the Mayor (equivalent to "Mayor", the position here is actually "City Hall President") did a police charge on the demonstrators and the whole thing ended up on TV.

This was followed by big demonstrations, both in Porto and Lisbon, as well as much bigger encampments, this time in both.

Note that said Mayor is from the same political party as the Government, which is a rightwing part that was formed after the 1974 Revolution by the sons and daughters of those who had wealthy and priviledge under Fascism, and who have just passed a law to further reduce protections for renters in effect making it much more likely that what happenned to Maricarmen in next door Spain would also happen here.

Mind you the current situation of low salaries together with insane house prices and rents was created by governments of both that party and the "left" (but not really left, not since the 80s) mainstream party which have pretty much alternated in power ever since not long after the 74 Revolution.

Mind you, the problem of high costs of living - especially housing - and low incomes along with successive governments whose policies actually incentivise realestate bubbles is happening in almost all of Europe. I just mentioned this because it's funny how the idiot Mayor by acting like an autoritarian made the situation explode, similarly to how the violence in France exploded when the police used excessive force against children demonstration (though it's not violent yet in Portugal)
