Deputy Pedro Delgado Alves highlighted the importance of maintaining a balanced approach, referencing the historical interpretation of the law that has ensured the right to protest for 50 years. He condemned disproportionate police actions during recent housing protests in Lisbon and Porto, where police intervened forcefully, resulting in injuries and arrests. Alves called for clarity on whether there has been a shift in police directives or behavior, stressing the need for a thorough investigation into the recent events.
