LISBON (The Thursday Times) — Hafte ke roz Portugal bhar ke 30 se zaid qasbon aur shehron mein dasiyon hazaar afraad ne march kiya aur hukoomat se barhte hue kirayon aur makanaat ki qeematon par iqdaam ka mutalba kiya. Yeh hafton se zor pakadti is tehreek ka ab tak ka sab se bara ehtijaj tha.
Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Portimão, Coimbra, Braga aur deegar maqamaat par yeh march Casa Para Viver (rehne ke liye aik ghar) ne munazzam kiye, jo taqreeban 100 housing anjumanon aur awami tanzeemon ka platform hai. Naara tha: “Woh hum se ghar ka haq nahin chheen sakenge.” Shurka mein nau-umron se le kar retired afraad tak sab shamil the, aur Lisbon ka juloos dhol, mauseeqi aur naaron ke saath aage barha.
Muzahireen kirayon mein izafe ki had muqarrar karne, bedakhli ka samna karne wale kirayedaron ke liye mazboot qanooni tahaffuz aur zyada saste gharon ka mutalba kar rahe hain. Woh yeh bhi chahte hain ke hukoomat kirayedari ke qanoon mein parliament se manzoor shuda woh tabdeeliyan wapas le jo kiraye ke muahidon ko zyada lachakdar banati aur bedakhli ko tez karti hain. Platform sayyahon ke liye mukhtasar muddat ke kiraye aur khaali jaidadon par sakht qawaid ke liye bhi dabao daal raha hai.
Casa Para Viver ki tarjuman Rita Silva ne kaha ke mulk bhar mein itni bari tadaad mein logon ki shirkat se zahir hota hai ke yeh bohran sirf bare shehron tak mehdood nahin.
“Mujhe naujawanon ki waqai bohat fikr hai,” 35 saala data analyst Susana Pacheco ne kaha, jo apne ghar ke qarz ki qistein ada karne ke liye juz-waqti najoomi ka kaam bhi karti hain. Unhon ne kaha ke unhein nahin maloom ke un ki chhoti behan kabhi apna ghar kaise le paayegi. 42 saala Ana Encarnação ne barhte hue akhrajaat-e-zindagi aur ameer o ghareeb ke darmiyan barhti khaleej ki taraf ishara karte hue kaha, “Halaat naqabil-e-bardasht ho chuke hain.”
Qeematein aamdan se aage nikal gayin
Portugal mein makanaat ki qeematein aamdan ke muqable mein kahin zyada tezi se barhi hain. Eurostat ke guzishta hafte jaari kardah adad o shumaar ke mutabiq 2015 se 2025 ke dauran makanaat ki qeemat aur aamdan ke tanasub mein European Union mein sab se zyada izafa Portugal mein hua, jo 61 feesad tha, jabke Netherlands 34 feesad ke saath doosre number par raha. Portugal ke qaumi idara-e-shumariyat ke mutabiq guzishta saal ki pehli sehmahi se 2026 ki pehli sehmahi tak qeematon mein taqreeban 20 feesad izafa hua.
Is bohran ne hafton se jaari muzahiron ko hawa di hai. Kuch karkunon ne Lisbon aur Porto ke markazi chowkon mein dere daal rakhe hain, aur kutton ke saath riot police ne baaz muzahire muntashir kiye, jis par police par sakht rawaiye ke ilzamaat lage.
Is tehreek ne parosi mulk Spain se hausla liya hai, jahan is hafte rihaish ke akhrajaat par lakhon afraad aam hartal mein shamil hue. France mein muzahireen ne musalsal paanchwein hafte ko march kiya, agarche tadaad kam thi.
