For the third consecutive day, there is a protest against the mine in Boticas

For the third consecutive day, around 50 protesters gathered in Covas do Barroso, Boticas, opposing Savannah's lithium mining project. The president of the local association claims the blockade has been successful, halting the company's work. Savannah asserts that no work was scheduled during the protests and continues its operations elsewhere. The protests have drawn support from across the country, highlighting the broader opposition to the project. Activists express concerns about environmental impacts, particularly on local water sources. The mining project received conditional environmental approval in 2023, with construction planned for 2027 and production expected in 2028.
