Porto. Camping does not leave room for Christmas market

The Acampada do Porto pela Habitação rejected the proposal to leave Praça D. João I for a Christmas market, emphasizing their commitment to housing rights despite adverse weather. The movement criticized the government's willingness to negotiate as superficial, citing a lack of progress on housing laws. Approximately 100 participants attended the assembly, which has seen an increase in tents despite the rainy conditions. The protests, which began on October 10, have spread to other cities, facing police intervention and resulting in arrests and injuries. The assembly outlined nine demands for housing policy reform, including reversing eviction laws and increasing public housing availability.
