“Only those who don't want to see it think that demonstration until 04:30 wasn't peaceful”

A protest for the right to housing in Lisbon, which lasted until 04:30 on 1 November, remained peaceful throughout the night according to a photojournalist on the ground. Tensions rose after midnight, leading to police intervention, clashes, and arrests between 04:30 and the early morning hours, following failed negotiations between the police and protesters over the legal time limit for occupying the square.
