Protesters challenge Moedas' order to change tents and merchants demand "solutions"
The Administrative Court of Lisbon authorized activist Renata Cambra to set up a tent in Rossio until November 24, amid ongoing protests regarding housing issues. The Union of Associations of Commerce and Services criticized the situation, urging local authorities to find solutions that balance the rights of protesters and the needs of local businesses. Tensions are rising between the city council and protesters, with demands for the removal of tents from Rossio to facilitate the Christmas market. The government is also considering transferring management of public properties for affordable housing. Meanwhile, many detained protesters prefer to go to trial rather than pay fines, as discussions continue about the legality of the police actions during the protests.
