I think the fundamental question is by what right does someone have "right" to something like land or the buildings on it, by the open market and wealth or by already living there?

As a republic, the citizens of Portugal are sovereign and they have the right to decide who gets to live where and for how much. The citizens can also choose to give up their sovereignty to others (the EU, globalism) or not exercise it (don’t vote or don’t hold their officials accountable).
