Mothers for Acampada request transfer of the Christmas Market

The group Mães Pela Acampada has requested the Mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, to relocate the Christmas Market from Rossio Square to Praça do Município. They emphasize the importance of preserving the historical identity of Lisbon's spaces while celebrating Christmas traditions. The group believes that economic dynamism can coexist with heritage preservation and calls for a more balanced approach to urban planning. They are not opposed to the Christmas Market itself but advocate for a location that respects the city's heritage. Meanwhile, protests against the housing crisis have escalated, leading to clashes with police and injuries among demonstrators.
