Housing movement files complaint against police action in Porto
The housing rights group occupying Praça D. João I in Porto plans to file a formal complaint following a police intervention in the early hours of Thursday that resulted in 37 injuries, including two people in serious condition. The movement, which has been protesting since Saturday, continues to hold a concentration at the site today at 19:00, despite the municipal government's stated opposition to camping in public spaces.
Why it mattersWhile this is a specific protest, it highlights the ongoing tension and potential for police-enforced removal of encampments in Porto's public spaces, which may affect participants or those planning to attend related protests.
