"Due to its symbolic nature and the naturalness with which this gesture is experienced in our society, the PSP does not see any incorrect behavior in the initiative of the police that could constitute an act of indiscipline," emphasized Sérgio Soares, stressing that it is a "traditional gesture deeply rooted in the culture and history of our Country, particularly associated with the values of April." #PSP #DireitoàHabitação #Manifestação (translated)

In statements to journalists, the PSP spokesman, Sérgio Soares, says that the demonstrators were always given the opportunity to maintain tents symbolically in the squares. Sérgio Soares says that the organizers of the protests did not agree to this option, but he states that, as happened yesterday in Porto, this has always been a possibility. Sérgio Soares, the PSP spokesman, did not specify the number of tents considered symbolic in a protest, but he assures that he will comply with the court's decision regarding the housing protests. #Habitação #Acampada #CoesãoSocial (translated)

The police spokesman, Sérgio Soares, had said that the camp, inspired by the protests occurring in several cities in Spain, could not be prolonged in aeternum, but no one expected the intervention to happen that same night, following the images from last Thursday that shocked the country: at 3:00 in the morning, when the journalists had already left the site of the camp in Porto, the police indiscriminately charged against the demonstrators, some of whom were still sleeping in their tents, leaving 37 injured and presenting a picture of disproportionate police violence against the peaceful nature of the protests. #CrisisDeVivienda #ProtestaLisboa #DerechosHumanos (translated)
