WebSummit. Camping marks concentration for Thursday

The Lisbon Camp for housing rights will resume activities on Thursday with a gathering and debates at Parque das Nações, coinciding with the Web Summit. Dubbed Camp Summit, the event aims to highlight the housing crisis, contrasting the luxury image of Lisbon with the struggles of residents. Unlike the Web Summit, Camp Summit is free and open to all, emphasizing accessibility. The gathering will start at 5:30 PM, followed by discussions on urban rights and democracy. The organizers criticize the Lisbon City Council's plans to sell public land for a similar amount spent on the Web Summit. Protests against the housing crisis began in Porto and have spread to other cities, with demands for changes in rental laws and affordable housing.
