The 'Acampada de Lisboa' housing protest group is holding a public gathering and assembly at Alameda dos Oceanos, near the Web Summit venue, on Thursday 12 November. The event, dubbed 'Camp Summit', follows the group's decision to decentralize their activities and remove tents from Rossio after being instructed to vacate the area by the Lisbon Mayor.
The Left Bloc (BE) municipal group in Porto has submitted a formal request for information to the Municipal Assembly regarding recent police and municipal cleaning operations at the housing protest in Praça D. João I. The request seeks details on the coordination between municipal authorities and the PSP, the use of batons by municipal officers, the disposal of personal property belonging to protesters, and the legal framework for the interventions conducted since 12 October.
Minister of Infrastructure Miguel Pinto Luz declined to speak with housing protesters during his visit to Porto on Wednesday, 4 November, citing the lack of conditions, while Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Pedro Duarte did meet with the group's representatives.
