Court suspends the right of protestor Renata Cambra to remain at Rossio until 24 November

The Lisbon Administrative Court (TACL) granted a suspensive effect to the Public Prosecutor's appeal to the Constitutional Court regarding the previous ruling that protected Renata Cambra's right to occupy Rossio Square until 24 November. This suspension effectively pauses the protection against police intervention (PSP and Municipal Police) that prevented the dispersal of the housing protest, pending a final decision by the Constitutional Court.

Why it matters

While the legal protection for the protest at Rossio is currently suspended, the protest's defense argues that authorities are not expected to resume forced dispersal operations during nighttime hours, though the situation remains legally uncertain until the Constitutional Court rules.
