Summary

On October 20, 2026, police conducted operations to clear protest camps established to demonstrate against the housing crisis in Lisbon and Porto. In Lisbon, where protesters had occupied Rossio Square, and in Porto, where demonstrators were located at Dom Joao I square, the sites were destroyed as authorities dismantled tents and seized equipment. During the operation in Lisbon, protesters formed a human chain and resisted law enforcement, leading to 55 arrests. While reports differ on the number of arrests in Porto, with some sources stating no arrests were made there, 2 individuals were injured during the police action.
