Housing protests spread to Lisbon and Milan as living cost tensions escalate

Anti-housing and living cost protests, previously concentrated in Spain and France, have now spread to Portugal and Italy. A tent encampment in Lisbon and a march in Milan that turned violent indicate widening social unrest across Southern Europe, though the Italian PM has sought to downplay the Milan clashes as hooliganism. The spread suggests a regional pattern of discontent that could pressure governments on housing policy.
