Protesters decided to stay overnight at Rossio despite warnings from the PSP

Protesters in Lisbon's Rossio decided to sleep outdoors without tents after a vote favored this option. The Secretary-General of the PS criticized opposition parties for downplaying the protests, emphasizing the importance of addressing housing issues. Meanwhile, the National Association of Municipalities expressed readiness to assist the government in increasing public housing. A letter signed by nearly 900 cultural workers condemned the violence against protesters, asserting the right to demonstrate for housing rights. The protests, which began in Porto, have spread to other cities following new rental laws.
