Fire Breaks Out in Porto Square During Housing Protests

A fire broke out in a building on Praça D. João I in Porto during housing protests, with the cause still under investigation. Protesters denied any connection to the fire, with organizers calling it a possible provocation by far-right groups. Witnesses reported seeing four masked individuals starting the fires. The legal protest deadline passed at 00:30, but no demobilization occurred, and police barriers were reportedly removed. Over 50 tents have been set up in the square as part of the ongoing housing movement, which resumed camping on Saturday. Protesters displayed signs criticizing Prime Minister Luís Montenegro, who had urged movements and parties not to be selfish in their actions.
