PCP asks Moedas for fewer markets and accuses him of "coup"

The PCP's secretary-general criticized Lisbon's mayor for prioritizing Christmas markets over public land sales, which he claims harm residents. Paulo Raimundo expressed concerns about the sale of public land intended for housing, suggesting that the mayor should focus on these issues instead. He also commented on the recent withdrawal of a protest movement from Rossio Square, emphasizing that this does not diminish the legitimacy of their cause. Raimundo called for participation in upcoming housing rights demonstrations and expressed disappointment over missed opportunities for collaboration on housing solutions with the PS party. Rita Silva from Casa para Viver echoed concerns about the government's lack of response to housing crisis proposals.
