Rui Rio: "This trend of attacking the PSP and defending the non-compliance with the law is a huge help for Chega"

Rui Rio criticized the recent attacks on the PSP and the defense of lawbreaking, stating it benefits the Chega party. He noted that orderly protests politically affect the government, while insubordination aids Chega's popularity. His comments followed police actions against housing rights protests in Lisbon and Porto, which resulted in injuries and arrests. The protesters demand changes to housing laws and better living conditions. Leftist parties condemned the police intervention, while the PSD and Chega supported it.
