🗣️ Insults

Portugal’s main parties left the São Bento palace exchanging accusations of intransigence and infantilism after housing negotiations broke down. The minority government is attempting to manage a housing encampment crisis through a mix of policing and invitations to dialogue, while the opposition awaits the next budget to see if the Prime Minister is willing to move on rent policy. The 86 protesters detained at the Lisbon encampments are scheduled to appear before the Public Ministry today. Their legal proceedings begin as the north prepares for a different kind of disruption; an immediate evacuation order was issued for a building in Matosinhos at risk of collapse, and meteorologists have warned that Storm Bruna will arrive on Sunday with rain that could exceed 200mm. Cristiano Ronaldo has announced his retirement from the national team after 23 years, six World Cups, and six European Championships. The federation is now preparing for the departure of a player it values at €850 million, an exit even coach Jorge Jesus admitted he simply had to accept.
