Forced eviction of encampments left at least 33 injured and 31 detained in Lisbon and Porto

A police operation in Lisbon and Porto aimed at dismantling housing protests resulted in at least 33 injuries and 31 arrests. The intervention occurred early Sunday morning after warnings for voluntary disassembly of tents. Initial police reports underestimated the number of injured, leading to discrepancies with hospital data. The police later revised their figures, acknowledging the higher count of injured protesters. The arrested individuals face charges of disobedience and will appear in court. Activist groups condemned the police's actions as excessive violence against peaceful demonstrators, prompting calls for further protests. The police defended their actions as necessary to restore public order.
