PSP reverses decision and drones can indeed fly in Rossio
The use of drones was initially banned at the Rossio protest in Lisbon, but the decision was reversed after media reports. The PSP had requested the ban to prevent safety incidents, stating that only police drones would be allowed. However, they clarified that the intention was to restrict civilian drones, not those used by the media. The PSP emphasized that the measure aimed to ensure coordinated airspace use and did not intend to hinder media activities. Consequently, the ban was lifted, allowing media drones to operate with proper authorization. In Porto, no such restrictions were applied due to a lack of drone usage culture.
