Rossio Camp. Judge who issued decision will have to decide whether the Public Prosecutor's appeal suspends it

The constitutionalist Teresa Violante expresses concern over the Public Ministry's appeal regarding a Lisbon court's decision on protest hours. She argues that the appeal should not suspend the urgent process protecting rights. The Lisbon Administrative Court ruled that the midnight limit for protests is not absolute, allowing demonstrator Renata Cambra to remain at Rossio until November 24. Violante emphasizes that suspending the decision undermines its effectiveness and warns that a different interpretation by the Constitutional Court could lead to Portugal being condemned by the European Court of Human Rights. The case highlights the balance between national law and European standards on the right to protest.
