Without a "blank check", with a tent: the court's decision

A legal battle in Lisbon over a tent representing housing rights has resulted in a partial victory for Renata Cambra. The court ruled that her protest in Rossio can continue until November 24, recognizing the tent as a symbol of her cause and deeming restrictions on public space for protests unconstitutional. The judge emphasized the historical significance of public spaces for democratic expression and stated that any limitations must be well justified. The ruling also challenged the police's claims about public safety and the need for a permit for the tent, asserting it is integral to the protest's message. However, the decision applies specifically to Cambra's case, not to all protesters.
