Encampment. Public Prosecutor's appeal regarding demonstrations reaches the Constitutional Court

The Public Prosecutor's appeal against a lower court decision, which had protected the right to protest at a housing encampment, has reached the Constitutional Court. This appeal challenges the non-application of a 1974 decree-law article that sets a 00:30 time limit for demonstrations, and it carries suspensive effect, effectively overturning the previous protection that allowed the protester Renata Cambra to remain in Lisbon's Rossio square until 24 November.
