Acampadas e bastonadas

On Sunday morning, the police intervened in a housing protest in Rossio, leading to arrests and injuries. The legality of the police's actions has been debated, particularly regarding the timing of the intervention and the use of force. While the Constitution guarantees the right to protest, it is not absolute, and the law sets limits, including a curfew. The police's use of force must be necessary and proportionate, and the use of batons is only justified against violent resistance. Different moments of the intervention show varying contexts, with some actions potentially legitimate while others may not be. An investigation is underway to assess the police's conduct during these events.
