Porto. Camp reiterates refusal to meet with the chamber this Tuesday

The Acampada do Porto movement welcomed the Porto mayor's willingness to hold a public meeting but declined a proposed meeting at the city hall due to safety concerns. Following a police intervention that resulted in injuries and arrests during their protest against housing costs, the movement emphasized prioritizing legal support for detainees and ensuring the safety of participants. They expressed that their decision not to meet was made collectively and respects their internal deliberation processes. The mayor's office highlighted ongoing openness to dialogue and proposed a broader meeting to discuss housing issues, which the movement believes should occur in a public assembly. A public assembly is scheduled for later today to decide on further protest actions.
