Housing. 78 organizations call for an investigation into the actions of the PSP

Seventy-eight organizations from nine countries have signed an open letter demanding an independent investigation into police intervention during a housing rights protest in Porto. The letter, promoted by Academia Cidadã, calls for transparency regarding the legal grounds for the police action on October 15. It highlights concerns over police violence and the implications for democratic participation. The intervention resulted in injuries among protesters and police, prompting inquiries from the President and legal complaints against officials. The protests, which began on October 10, aim to address housing issues such as eviction and affordable housing access.
