Story summary

On November 2, 2026, Portugal's housing protesters returned to Rossio Square in Lisbon after a court ruled that activist Renata Cambra could keep her tent overnight and protest until the November 24 budget vote. The ruling overturned an automatic curfew policy used by police to clear demonstrators, recognizing tents as symbolic demonstrations rather than illegal occupations of public space. On November 3, more than a hundred people joined Acampada de Lisboa's popular assembly in Rossio Square, setting up about 80 tents and demanding action on Portugal’s housing crisis. About 20 additional tents were set up in Porto's Praça D. João I. The renewed protest saw a lighter police presence compared to previous days. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro invited opposition leaders to bring housing proposals for discussion, and Acampada members accepted President António José Seguro’s invitation to talks, though no specific date was established.
