From camping to "aconchada": protesters sleep outdoors in Rossio. See the images
The housing protest at Rossio in Lisbon evolved into a night spent outdoors, with demonstrators opting to sleep in sleeping bags instead of tents. This decision followed a public assembly amid fears of police intervention. The protesters returned to the square after a police operation that removed 228 tents and led to 55 arrests. Despite the challenges, the movement continues to advocate for solutions to Portugal's housing crisis. Throughout the night, hundreds gathered for discussions and songs, maintaining their presence in the square. The police ordered the dismantling of tents again in the morning, but the protesters complied while planning another demonstration for Saturday.
