Portuguese police cleared a protest camp in central Lisbon before dawn on Sunday, baton-charging demonstrators and arresting 25 people as they dismantled more than 100 tents set up to protest the country's deepening housing crisis. A smaller camp in Porto was also cleared, with six arrests. The activist group Casa para Viver said 60 people were hurt and called a fresh protest for Tuesday.
