Dozens of police officers surround Rossio Square and João I Square at this time. In Barcelona, the protesters left shops and vandalized the city.
About 500 protesters were dispersed in the early hours of this Sunday by a police charge. PSP intervention occurred at the same time as the police charge in Rossio, Lisbon.
The CGTP accuses the Government of promoting a policy of limiting freedoms, in particular the right to demonstration, following police charges against housing protests in Lisbon and Porto. In a statement, the trade union central considers that the interpretation of the law adopted by the authorities is restrictive and has no parallel in the last 50 years.
The CGTP today denounced the repressive action of the government, accusing it of 'clarifying guidance for the limitation of freedoms, in particular the right to protest, with a restrictive interpretation of the law, which has no parallel in the last 50 years'.
