Cost of cleaning Rossio. Moedas suspends meeting
The Lisbon City Council meeting was suspended by President Carlos Moedas after a dispute over cleaning costs related to housing protests. Opposition members questioned the reported €150,000 expense for cleaning the Rossio area, leading to tensions. Moedas stated he would not accept being called a liar, prompting the suspension. The meeting resumed later without him, where a vote on the suspension's legitimacy took place. Opposition members criticized Moedas for his handling of scrutiny and transparency regarding the cleaning costs, which were previously estimated at €100,000. The council clarified that the reported figure includes all resources used for cleaning the entire Rossio area.
