里斯本（Lisbon），11月1日（路透）——警方週日進入里斯本羅西烏廣場（Rossio Square），清除一處帳篷營地。此前，數千人遊行要求葡萄牙（Portugal）中間偏右少數政府撤回一項租屋法案；示威者稱，該法案會使葡萄牙住房危機惡化。LISBON, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Police moved into Lisbon's Rossio Square on Sunday to clear a tent camp erected after thousands marched demanding Portugal's minority centre-right government withdraw a rental bill they say would worsen the country's housing crisis.

葡萄牙正面臨歐洲最嚴重的住房危機之一，年輕人是受創最深的族群之一。房價自2017年以來已上漲超過一倍，新租約租金也幾乎翻倍。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.

近幾週，葡萄牙因住房成本飆升引發的抗議升溫，呼應西班牙、法國、德國及歐洲其他地區正蔓延的類似動盪。Protests over soaring housing costs have intensified in Portugal in recent weeks, mirroring similar unrest sweeping across Spain, France, Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

示威者週六在里斯本市中心遊行，吸引數千人參與；之後，他們在羅西烏廣場搭起50多頂帳篷。Protesters had pitched more than 50 tents in Rossio Square after a march through central Lisbon on Saturday that drew thousands.

凌晨約4時30分（格林威治時間0430），數十名警員前往帳篷營地，其中一些警員帶著警犬。此前，警察指揮官尤里・羅德里格斯（Iuri Rodrigues）三度警告示威者，若不移除這些非法搭設的帳篷，警方將予以拆除，抗拒者可能面臨不服從命令罪名。Around 4:30 a.m.(0430 GMT), dozens of officers, some with police dogs, moved in on the tent camp after police commander Iuri Rodrigues warned protesters three times that the illegally erected tents would be dismantled if not removed and that those who resisted could face disobedience charges.

數百名保護帳篷營地的示威者遭警方以盾牌和若干次警棍衝鋒驅散。Hundreds of protesters shielding the tent camp were dispersed by police using shields and some baton charges.

另外，警方也在波多（Porto）若昂一世廣場（Dom Joao I square）拆除一處類似但規模較小的帳篷營地。Separately, police dismantled a similar, though smaller, tent camp in Porto's Dom Joao I square.

稍早，社會黨國會議員佩德羅・德爾加多・阿爾維斯（Pedro Delgado Alves）表示，羅西烏廣場情況和平，沒有任何事能正當化「涉及武力、肢體暴力或警棍衝鋒的警方介入，也就是我們上週目睹的那類場面」。Earlier, Socialist lawmaker Pedro Delgado Alves said Rossio Square was peaceful and that nothing justified "a police intervention involving force, physical violence or baton charges, the kind of scenes we witnessed last week."

警方一週前在同一批廣場清除帳篷營地時，曾以警棍衝鋒驅散示威者並逮捕數十人，因此受到批評。Police have been criticized for baton-charging demonstrators and arresting dozens while clearing tent camps in the same squares a week ago.

撤回法案SCRAP THE BILL

示威者要求政府撤回一項讓驅逐房客更容易、並取消新租約租金上限的法案；該法案在極右翼夠了黨（Chega）棄權下，已通過國會一讀。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.

總理路易斯・蒙特內哥羅（Luis Montenegro）週四排除撤回該法案的可能，但表示在未來幾週最終表決前，他對修正法案持開放態度。他說，各政黨「必須拉近距離」，同時也明確表示「主要行動方針是政府的施政綱領」。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".

社會黨領袖若澤・路易斯・卡內羅（Jose Luis Carneiro）週六敦促政府與反對黨及示威者展開對話，而不是「傲慢地強加自己的看法，有時甚至帶有威權色彩」。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".
