Fabian says he was assaulted, police did not "observe" the assault

Fabian Figueiredo, a deputy from the Left Bloc, recounts his experience during a police intervention at a housing protest in Lisbon. He faced accusations from the far-right Chega party claiming he fled the scene, which he denies, asserting he was pushed to the ground by police. The police maintain that no aggression occurred towards him. Figueiredo emphasizes that his account is not about personal victimization but about addressing misinformation. He has been actively involved in the protests and criticized the police's heavy-handed approach. The situation raises questions about the rights of deputies during such interventions, as outlined in the Statute of Deputies.
