Demonstrating their anger over rising rents in Limassol, The Movement for the Right of Housing held a protest over Saturday night outside the Limassol District offices.
Tents in the area were occupied by both the homeless – including a family with three children – and citizens who wanted to symbolicaly show their support, while the demonstrators called on the president to listen to their demands and put an end to the problem of skyrocketing rents.
Lefteris Georgiou of the group said that while they are trying to help, 11 families have been evited for not being able to keep up with the rent.
The demonstrators said a place to live is a basic right, not a piece of merchandise. They called for more support as the problem is only getting worse and as such will start affecting a greater number of people.
