Lisbon housing protesters sleep outdoors in Rossio Square after dismantling tents

Protesters in Lisbon voted to dismantle their tents and sleep outdoors in Rossio Square, with 338 votes supporting the proposal, after a housing protest continued peacefully into early Thursday morning. The decision followed three options put to a vote, with the chosen plan involving organized overnight sleeping. A tense moment occurred when a man with an Israeli flag entered the area, prompting police intervention after insults and physical confrontations. Housing protests began in Porto on October 10 and spread to Lisbon, with similar actions in other Portuguese cities. Authorities had previously removed tents and detained 55 protesters in Lisbon, while protesters oppose the government's new rental law.
