The Lisbon City Council has ordered the removal of Renata Cambra's symbolic tent, set up in Rossio. This decision came one day after the initial authorization for its installation during the Christmas Market, aimed at accommodating vendors in the area.

Meanwhile, Renata Cambra expressed her disapproval of the Council's decision. In statements to RTP, the activist highlighted the Council's responsibility to balance the ongoing protest with the market activities.

Cambra's tent, which serves as a protest point, has drawn media attention, although there are questions about its future and the continuity of the mobilization by the demonstrators.

The Council's decision is seen as an attempt to balance commercial and social interests in Rossio, a central space that frequently hosts public events and demonstrations.

The situation has been reinforced by a court that, in a recent ruling, provided legal support to the protesters, considered a factor that could influence the dynamics between the demonstrators and the local government.

The controversy raises questions about the future of encampments in the city and the impact of diminishing media interest in the issues raised by the protesters.
