Citizens ask the municipality not to remove tents in Rossio

A citizens' group has urged authorities not to remove tents at Rossio without providing a compatible alternative location. This appeal follows a court ruling that requires protest coordination with the Christmas Market, allowing for an alternative site if coexistence proves unfeasible. The group insists that the court's decision must be respected and calls for immediate discussions with the municipality to explore accommodation solutions. In Porto, they believe there is room for the city to adjust the ice rink's location to avoid conflict with the protest. Ongoing protests against the housing crisis began in Porto and have spread to Lisbon and other cities, leading to clashes with police and numerous arrests.
