Police in Portugal violently dismantled protest camps in Lisbon and Porto, leading to clashes with demonstrators opposing rising housing costs. Activists organized a new rally in response to the police action. The protests began peacefully, but escalated when officers attacked camps early Sunday morning. Several arrests were made, and both police and protesters reported injuries. Activists condemned the police's use of force, while Amnesty International expressed concern over the situation. Protesters demand the government abandon plans that would increase housing costs and vulnerability for renters. Prime Minister Luís Montenegro acknowledged rising property prices but blamed previous leftist governments for the crisis.
