⛺ Tents

Officers cleared protest camps in Lisbon and Porto, resulting in 31 arrests and at least 33 injuries. The tents were removed but the problem they represent—an increasingly unaffordable housing market—remains on the front pages. A potential merger between energy firms Galp and Moeve has collapsed. The Sines refinery will remain under its current ownership, ending speculation about a consolidated regional player. The election of Lula da Silva in Brazil has preoccupied editors, who are weighing the implications of a divided congress for the new president. Reports also noted a student movement's victory in Serbia and the return of María Corina Machado to Venezuela.
