Health workers' union condemns police charges against housing protesters
The STSSS union issued a statement condemning the police intervention that dispersed housing protest camps in Lisbon and Porto in the early hours of Monday, 26 October. The police operation resulted in 31 arrests for disobedience and at least 11 injuries, according to official reports, though protest organizers claim a higher number of injured individuals.
Why it matters
While this is a reaction piece to a protest dispersal, it underscores the ongoing social and political tension surrounding the housing crisis in Portugal, which remains a central issue for residents facing high costs and housing shortages.Useful?
