Lisbon protesters accept invitation for meeting with the President of the Republic

The Lisbon protest assembly accepted an invitation for a meeting with President António José Seguro. This decision was made during the 17th assembly at Rossio, where a karaoke event was held to celebrate a court ruling allowing a protester to stay overnight. The court's decision permits protests until November 2026, despite the Ministry of Internal Administration emphasizing that it does not recognize the right to set up tents in public spaces. Recent protests have focused on housing rights, leading to police interventions that resulted in injuries. The President has requested clarifications from the government regarding police actions.
