Protests. Lisbon's AM praises police action

The Lisbon Municipal Assembly approved a PSD motion praising police actions during the Housing Camp while rejecting a PAN motion condemning government policies leading to police responses. PSD's Liliana Fidalgo emphasized the importance of maintaining public order, citing a police officer's restraint as exemplary. PAN's António Morgado Valente stressed the need for accountability in police actions, highlighting concerns over excessive force and rights violations. PS's Hugo Gaspar called for political solutions rather than police interventions, while other parties criticized the PSD's motion as politically motivated and dismissive of the housing crisis. The debate highlighted differing views on police conduct and the underlying housing issues.
