CLM proposes symbolic tent in Rossio and protest in another square

The Lisbon City Council proposed that Renata Cambra maintain one tent at Rossio during the Christmas market while relocating housing protests to alternative locations. This compromise aims to balance the ongoing housing protests with the traditional market, which starts on November 13. The council emphasized the importance of both initiatives and sought to respect public interests. The proposal follows a court ruling allowing Cambra to continue her protest until November 2026, with specific hours for demonstrations. The protests, which began in Porto, have spread to Lisbon and other cities, leading to clashes with police and numerous arrests. The public prosecutor is reviewing the legality of a 1974 law limiting protest hours.
