🧹 Cleared

Housing protests in Lisbon and Porto ended in confrontation as police moved to clear tent encampments within ten minutes of their appearance. The intervention left 11 people injured and 31 in detention, marking a sharp conclusion to a day where thousands had marched for more housing. The political response was predictably swift. Politician José Luís Carneiro demanded an immediate suspension of the government’s new rental law, arguing that official inaction is as much a burden on citizens as the cost of living itself. In the courts, investigators believe the funeral of Rosalina Ribeiro may have provided the breakthrough they needed in a long-running murder case, yielding a name and three specific clues. Elsewhere, the state is monitoring a more modern sort of crime: digital influencers using their platforms to sell illegal peptides, a venture that carries a prison sentence of one to five years.
