Briefings

In Portugal, 82 people detained at the Acampada de Lisboa on October 20 decided to appear in court on November 6, 2026, after a suspended sentence. The Public Ministry may still file charges if it deems the case unjustified, as the court suspended the process. Detained individuals must pay 150 euros to a social solidarity institution and wait 45 days before the case proceeds. The protest involved violence and injuries, prompting police to cite a 1974 decree limiting protest times. The Public Ministry is now requesting the Constitutional Court to review the constitutionality of the 1974 decree. The article notes the Public Ministry's hierarchy may influence the case outcome.
