Lisbon camp marks gathering for Thursday in front of the Web Summit
The Acampada de Lisboa will resume activities on Thursday with a gathering and debates at Parque das Nações, coinciding with the Web Summit. Dubbed Camp Summit, the event aims to highlight housing rights issues, contrasting the luxury portrayal of Lisbon with the struggles of residents. Unlike the Web Summit, Camp Summit is free and open to all. The gathering will start at 5:30 PM, followed by discussions on urban rights and democracy. The organization criticizes the Lisbon City Council's plans to sell public land for a similar amount spent on the Web Summit. Protests against housing crises began in Porto and have spread to Lisbon, with demands for changes in rental laws and affordable housing.
