Paddy Cosgrave says camping is "welcome" at the Web Summit
On the last day of the Web Summit in Lisbon, housing rights protests moved from Rossio to the summit's entrance. Paddy Cosgrave, the event's CEO, welcomed the protests, emphasizing the importance of the right to protest. He acknowledged the frustrations of a generation feeling robbed of their future and noted that discussions at the summit would include the power of protest. The protesters, who had camped at Rossio, decentralized their actions to Parque das Nações, where they planned to hold debates on housing rights and digital technologies for democracy. The protest, dubbed 'CampSummit', aims to highlight the need for housing rights alongside the tech summit.
