Firecrackers exploding in Rossio and a man taking refuge in a restaurant. Those camping detained and brought to court

Protests for housing rights in Lisbon's Rossio square escalated with firecrackers being set off, leading to a man seeking refuge in a McDonald's. The police later identified the man, who claimed he fled due to being chased by protesters accusing him of being an undercover officer. Tensions rose as police intervened, resulting in 13 arrests and injuries to both police and protesters. In Porto, similar protests led to the dismantling of camps, with police using force to disperse demonstrators. Legal actions are anticipated against police officials regarding the use of force during these events.
