Protests for housing. MAI reacts to the court ruling and says it refers only to "an individual and concrete situation"

The Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) stated that a recent court ruling pertains to a specific case regarding a protester’s request. The court allowed a protester to camp overnight in Rossio Square, indicating that the midnight curfew for demonstrations is not absolute. MAI clarified that the ruling does not grant a general right to permanent camping in public spaces and outlines specific conditions for the protest, including noise restrictions and compliance with public safety regulations. The government respects the right to protest and acknowledges citizens' concerns about housing issues. The protest is permitted until November 24, 2026, and must coordinate with scheduled public events.
