Christmas Market Set Up Amidst Storm Charles

Despite severe weather warnings, workers continued setting up Christmas market structures in Rossio. The mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, had previously announced that construction would be halted due to the storm, but operations proceeded. Cleaning crews also removed graffiti from the statue of D. Pedro IV overnight. Moedas expressed confidence that the Christmas market would open on schedule, stating that the robust structures would remain in place until the weather improved.
