We start with the encampments for housing. Both in Porto and Lisbon, the protesters decided to stay overnight, despite the police's appeals. From midnight and a half, the demonstrations are illegal. Still, in Lisbon, and despite a meeting with the police and the formation of a human chain around the tents, the encampment at Rossio continues. Miguel Pina Andrade. To a certain extent, the protesters even thought this would be the last night of camping in Praça do Rossio. After a meeting with the police, in which the removal of the tents was requested, the protesters gathered and decided: "The tents stay and we do too." After this meeting, a human chain was formed and chants were heard against Carlos Moedas, the mayor of Lisbon, and also against Prime Minister Luís Montenegro. In fact, he has been the main focus of the protesters. The chants focus almost all on the prime minister and the houses, the various properties the government owns. Now, the strong police contingent, which was being reinforced throughout the afternoon and night, ended up dispersing and only two PSP vans remained in Praça do Rossio. The protesters took this opportunity to rest. Before the meeting with the police, the message was transmitted that from 1:00 AM no noise could be made and the Praça do Rossio remained as it was. Only murmurs can be heard, the silence is almost absolute. Despite the brief moments of tension, the encampment continues. The objective is for the government, the local authority, to respond to the protesters' demands. The main one is the reversal of the new rental law and measures that help combat the rising cost of living and also help combat the great housing crisis that the protesters are protesting against. The only certainty, at this moment, is that tonight the hundreds of protesters and the dozens of tents will continue in Rossio, not knowing for how long this encampment will continue. Miguel Pina Andrade, following the second night of the Lisbon encampment. Similar situation in Porto, in Praça Dom João I. Despite the police's appeals, the protesters remain firm and decided not to leave the place tonight. Laura Figueiredo. It seems that this Sunday will repeat what happened on Saturday. The police abandoned Praça Dom João I, in Porto, around 2:00 AM and did not return. This happened after a deadlock that lasted about an hour and a half, after the protesters refused to speak with the police without a legal representative present. The lawyer who fronted this housing movement came here and already in the presence of Tiago Machado, the PSP informed the protesters that the tents had to be removed, as since midnight and a half they had been in violation of the crime of disobedience. The installation of tents and the stay in the square must respect the law, regardless of whether it is a reason for protests. The PSP has the duty to enforce the law and expects everyone to cooperate to resolve this situation peacefully. We must guarantee security, respecting everyone's rights, yours, but also those of all other citizens who use public space, and avoid incidents. Therefore, we ask you to cooperate with us and the position of the Public Security Police is that, from midnight and a half, ceasing the right they had to protest legally, they must leave the square and remove the tents that are currently occupying public space. The PSP's statement, transmitted to one of the movement's representatives by Sub-Inspector Eduardo Silva. After this, the protesters gathered in the center of the square to vote on whether to stay or not here tonight and they ended up deciding, by majority, to stay. The decision was then communicated to the PSP, which responded only saying that it was registered. After this, all the police officers present in Praça Dom João I left and have not returned so far. The atmosphere is one of some uncertainty. The protesters fear that the police will return and that is why they even equip themselves with helmets and some arm protection. Earlier, and summarizing the main points of this Sunday, the movement decided in an assembly that if Pedro Duarte wanted to meet, he would have to come here to speak with the protesters. However, the mayor of Porto had already said he would not come, leaving the city hall door open to receive the movement's representatives. Here, the number of tents has been decreasing a little, there are now about 50, they have already reached almost 70. Some of the protesters were leaving Praça Dom João I. Those who remained continue to be alert and expectant about what will happen in the coming hours. Laura Figueiredo, at the demonstration in Praça Dom João I. In the early evening, a spokesperson for the protesters, Maria João Calisto, admitted the possibility of keeping the encampment in Porto until the end of the year. We handed over the pre-notice to stay here from October 21st to December 31st, 2026. And do they not fear that this movement will mobilize a little in more than two months? Do you think they can keep so many people in the square during this time? Our objective was not to stay here until December 31st, it was to find solutions and have an understanding that it was not necessary to stay here until December 31st. It is very hard to be here, it is very hard to sleep here. Maria João Calisto, in statements to the journalist Laura Figueiredo O Chega proposes an emergency legislative package to respond to housing problems. In reaction to the demonstrations in Lisbon and Porto, André Ventura recognizes that the Portuguese have reasons to be frustrated. He says that the problem is not now, but considers that it has worsened in the last five years. André Ventura announced this Sunday that the party will present an emergency package and has already revealed some measures. The re-evaluation of tax benefits for those in Portugal with a lot of money to buy houses and who have tax benefits that others do not have. Their re-evaluation is important to bring justice to the social issue. It makes no sense that who is rich and foreign has more conditions to acquire housing in Portugal than who is Portuguese and from the middle class. Tax deductions in personal income tax. It makes no sense at all that who sees their housing loan increase by 20, 30, 40 or 50% cannot have the corresponding fiscal increase. Statements by André Ventura, who challenged the other parliamentary parties to reach an agreement. At the Chega headquarters, André Ventura says that besides tax deductions, this legislative package also provides for a re-evaluation of IMI for owners. José Luís Carneiro says that André Ventura is the candidate for the Nobel Prize in Hypocrisy. In reaction to Chega's announcement, the PS secretary-general considers Ventura's position paradoxical as he shows concern for housing while also supporting the new rental law. José Luís Carneiro also recommends to the government to proceed with the suspension of gold visas and the status of non-habitual residents. We had made the decision in 2023 to suspend these two instruments, suspend gold visas and suspend the status of non-habitual residents. It is necessary to ask the government why it did not take the decision to maintain that determination of the Socialist Party government. Secondly, we had advanced with the recovery and construction of 31 thousand new homes that were delivered and are being delivered by this government. Now it is necessary to launch a new phase of public housing construction, of recovery of properties that belong to the State and that should be put on the market. Statements by the PS secretary-general to journalists this Sunday in Porto. José Luís Carneiro says he is solidary with the cause of the demonstrations for the right to housing, but asks the protesters to respect public order. In Brazil, Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro had their first debate tonight. There were no debates in the first round, so it was the first face-to-face between the two candidates for the Brazilian presidency. The debate was marked by few proposals and many personal attacks and corruption accusations. Senator Bolsonaro bet on the issue of security, while the current President Lula da Silva defended his legacy. The debate lasted about two hours and was divided into three parts, so there were also three breaks. The second round of the Brazilian elections is scheduled for the 25th of this month. At this moment, the polls point to a technical tie between the two candidates. Volodymyr Zelensky considers that Donald Trump tries to force a capitulation of Ukraine in the face of Russia. The Ukrainian president gives examples of measures such as the agreement to buy Russian gasoline or restrictions on military aid to Kiev. In an interview with the Bloomberg news agency, Zelensky says that it seems that the Americans want to end the conflict as quickly as possible at Ukraine's expense. Earlier this Sunday, the President of the United States accused Zelensky of not wanting to end the war. Statements by Donald Trump on Truth Social, at a time of recent increase in tensions between Washington and Kiev. End of the news at 4:00 AM. Information will be back at 4:30 PM.
