Porto: Protesters refuse to leave D. João I Square for Christmas market

The Porto Housing Protest movement has officially rejected a suggestion from the city council to vacate Praça D. João I, where they have been camping since 10 October to protest the housing crisis. The movement maintains that their peaceful occupation will continue regardless of planned city events or upcoming weather conditions, and they have expanded their list of demands from six to nine points, including a reversal of current tenancy laws and a ban on evictions without alternative housing.
