Porto camp denies contacts with Pedro Duarte

The Porto Camp denied the cordial contacts claimed by the city's mayor, stating that they only received a formal invitation. Member Sérgio Bastos clarified that while individuals may communicate freely, the collective has no formal interactions with the mayor. He suggested that the mayor might be speaking with other groups or individuals. The camp emphasizes its commitment to democratic processes through the Popular Assembly and insists on dialogue regarding housing issues. Protests against the housing crisis began on October 10 and have spread to other cities, with calls for measures to address rising costs and corporate profits. Recent protests faced police violence, resulting in injuries among participants.
