The defense of protesters plans to file a complaint against the Minister of Internal Administration and the national director of the PSP for alleged abuse of power following clashes during demonstrations in Lisbon and Porto. Thirteen individuals were detained, with reports of injuries among both protesters and police. The Minister defended the police's actions as necessary and not politically motivated, while opposition parties criticized the government's approach as repressive. The National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture is monitoring the situation but has not yet determined if police actions were excessive. Protests against police violence are planned, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding the right to demonstrate and housing issues.
