Porto encampment requests postponement of meeting with the President to Friday due to depression Charles

The Porto protest group requested the postponement of a meeting originally scheduled for Wednesday, 11 November, citing safety risks from the severe weather caused by depression Charles and the short notice provided by the Presidency. The group proposed rescheduling the meeting to Friday, 13 November, or alternatively to Monday, 16 November, or Tuesday, 17 November.

Why it matters

This meeting concerns housing policy and the recent police actions during protests; its rescheduling affects the timeline for official dialogue on these issues.
