Residents of Belém contest the closure of CTT Store

Residents of Belém, Lisbon, are holding a vigil to protest the closure of the CTT store at Palácio de Belém, which occurred on October 30. The local community was surprised by the abrupt closure, citing a lack of communication from authorities. They argue that the closure negatively impacts public service and social cohesion in the area. A petition with over 200 signatures has been initiated, calling for the decision to be revoked. The residents emphasize the importance of the CTT store for the local population and tourism, urging CTT and ANACOM to reconsider the closure. The vigil is set for 6 PM in front of the now-closed store.
