Ainda as acampadas: o Estado de Direito também dá sinais de vida

The Administrative Court has ruled that protests can continue past 00:30, emphasizing that mere inconvenience does not justify dispersing demonstrators. Historical cases from the European Court of Human Rights support this stance. The article warns against equating social peace with the absence of protests, highlighting that excessive police force often leads to increased tensions. It calls for political leaders to address the underlying issues, such as the housing crisis, rather than merely responding with law enforcement.
