PS says judicial decision is a "stunning defeat" for PM and MAI and calls for consequences

The PS parliamentary leader described the Lisbon Administrative Court's ruling on housing protests as a significant defeat for the Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Administration, calling for political consequences. Eurico Brilhante Dias criticized the government's recent actions, which led to violent police interventions against peaceful demonstrators. He expressed concerns about the Prime Minister's preparedness for his role, highlighting a lack of relevant political experience. The court ruled that the 00:30 limit for protests is not absolute, allowing a protestor to remain overnight in Lisbon until November 2026, coordinating with a scheduled Christmas market.
