Pedro Duarte issues an invitation. The camp refuses again

The ongoing conflict between Porto's Mayor and the Acampada movement continues as the latter rejects a meeting invitation while presenting four demands for discussion. The Mayor, Pedro Duarte, insists on dialogue but clarifies that it does not equate to negotiating the protesters' demands. The Acampada movement claims the invitation process was flawed, asserting they received their first formal invitation only on October 19, while the municipality argues otherwise. Despite the Mayor's renewed invitation for a meeting on November 3, the Acampada declined, citing recent police actions and prioritizing legal support for detained members. The Mayor emphasizes the importance of lawful protests and refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the Acampada's assemblies, while a council member advocates for dialogue with the protesters.
