In a recent development in Queluz, a suburb of Lisbon, dozens of residents have been evicted from their homes amid allegations of illegal occupation. The local government claims that these individuals have been living in municipal buildings without proper authorization, leading to a series of eviction notices that have left many families in distress.
The evictions took place in the 1.º de Maio neighborhood of Monte Abraão, Sintra, where a family was forcibly removed from their home. Reports indicate that the local municipality has issued multiple eviction notices to various residents, citing illegal occupancy as the primary reason.
The situation has sparked outrage among the affected families, many of whom claim they have nowhere to go. The local government has defended its actions, stating that it is their responsibility to ensure that municipal properties are used legally and appropriately.
The local government has reiterated its commitment to addressing illegal occupations. Officials argue that allowing such practices to continue undermines the integrity of public housing policies and can lead to further complications in urban planning and resource allocation.
