"Housing Protests: an analysis" (with Paulo de Sá e Cunha)

"Lawyer Paulo de Sá e Cunha analysed the recent police operations and dispersal orders issued during demonstrations in Porto and Lisbon. He considered the police response legitimate in light of breaches of authorised protest hours and the unlawful occupation of public spaces, stressing that, although the law is in need of updating, the right to protest is not unrestricted. He called for a measured investigation into any potential police misconduct and appealed for common sense to prevent a further escalation of confrontations."
