    The Wider Image: Migrants struggle to cope with Portugal’s ‘suffocating’

    Marcia Leandro, 43, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil returns from her work as a cleaner, to the improvised campsite in a field where she lives in Carcavelos, in Cascais, Portugal, October 11, 2023. Portugal remains one of western Europe's poorest nations with the region's lowest average wages. The housing crisis is rooted in a chronic shortage of affordable housing, aggravated by the arrival of wealthy foreigners lured by residency rights linked for some years to property investment and tax breaks offered by the state.
