The Jornal da Uma begins, the edition by journalist Luís Soares. Luís, after a night without incidents, dozens of tents continue to be set up in Praça do Rossio, in Lisbon, and Praça Dom João I, in Porto. It is a protest for the right to housing.
The demonstrators started setting up the tents yesterday afternoon and it was in the tents that they spent the night and thus intend to continue. We will do a new round through the reporters of Rádio Observador in both cities. We start with Lisbon, where, Carlos Pedro, in full lunchtime, improvises a canteen for those who participate in the protest there in Praça do Rossio.
Precisely, Luís, it is really about to break out. This popular canteen was scheduled for 12:30 PM, but before that there will be a meeting of the working groups of this protest and therefore the meals have not yet been distributed. Nevertheless, some people are already gathering in the center of this Praça do Rossio for this mealtime. It is, in other words, a lunch organized by the camp's organization. Little ago he was talking with one of the organizers of this protest, who told me that this popular canteen is based on the solidarity of the demonstrators. They are the ones who bring pots with food from home to share with the participants of this camp, as happened last night and as will happen tonight, after the popular assembly scheduled for 7 PM. It will be, in other words, the big moment of the day or this second day of protests in Lisbon, because only then will the dimension of the human frame that will remain here for another night be understood. There are indications pointing to another night with several dozens of tents and people in Praça do Rossio. I say this by what I am understanding, not only from the conversation with these demonstrators and their slogans, but also from what is written on the posters that are going up in Praça do Rossio, especially on the statue of Dom Pedro IV. The demonstrators promise to continue here until there is a reaction from the government, especially regarding the new rental law. The demonstrators promise to continue here. It remains to be seen what the Lisbon City Council and the police authorities will do with the nightfall and the maintenance of the tents in Rossio. The demonstrators promise to continue here, regardless of the warnings from the PSP, since the previous night did not have these warnings and passed without alarm, with much tranquility. This is also after the mayor of Lisbon, Carlos Moedas, did not raise problems with the issue of the tents, as long as it was not every day and in other places. For now, everything is calm here at this moment for lunch in Praça do Rossio, in Lisbon, with dozens of demonstrators still present here with their tents.
Carlos Pedro live from Praça do Rossio, in Lisbon, preparing for lunch at this camp. In Porto, the protest takes place in Praça Dom João I, in Invicta, where, Miguel Pinheiro Correia, now also live, the organizers are also meeting to try to define the next steps of this camp.
And they are meeting, Luís, what would be a popular assembly. And it would be because it wasn't or is not being, because at 11 AM it was announced on the megaphone, as these assemblies are usually announced, a person appeared who announced this assembly. Now it turns out that there are some shouts against a young man who passed by near Praça Dom João I and threw a flag on the ground, which caused some revolt here. In fact, another banner was just thrown and the demonstrators are outraged, they started climbing the stairs to settle accounts with that person. But I said, and this supposed assembly was now interrupted, but it turned out not to be an assembly. It was announced for 12 PM, it only started after 12:30 PM and there was this indication that it would be a popular assembly, that had happened with the participation of everyone, this time when the journalists approached, these young people stated that it was not allowed to listen to the assembly, which is not usual. It did not happen, for example, this morning at the assembly that took place here in Praça Dom João I. The demonstrators said that it was, after all, instead of being an assembly as announced, it was a private meeting to deal with organizational matters and therefore they did not allow the journalists to listen and this meeting continues, which was now interrupted with this altercation. Some demonstrators chased that man or that young man who threw a banner out of where it was attached, but it seems nothing major happened. But let's continue to follow. Regarding lunch, there is no great mobilization yet. At this moment, there are also still no pots indicating that lunch is about to be served, as is the custom in this popular canteen here in Praça Dom João I. At this moment, they are preparing lunch, yes, but still far from seeing this mobilization, at the moment when there are also few people in the square. Most of the demonstrators have already left Praça Dom João I, after a long night, a sleepless night and also after a troubled morning.
Miguel Pinheiro Correia here live following the protest in Porto, now also with fewer people in Praça Dom João I. The Minister of Housing has already stated that he sees these protests with enormous concern, but Miguel Pinto Luz also says that the current government cannot be held responsible for the housing crisis. This was the interview on Antena Um and the Jornal de Negócios.
And Pope Leo XIV appeared today for the first time in public after having undergone surgery for a lung tumor. It was in the usual Angelus prayer.
The leader of the Catholic Church appeared this morning to the faithful from the window of the apartment in Praça de São Pedro and was received with strong applause. The applause when Pope Leo XIV appeared in the window, in Praça de São Pedro, in Rome, one day after being discharged from the hospital, after having also had a nodule in the lung removed, which confirmed the suspicions of cancer. In this first public appearance, the Pope informed that he will return to activities gradually. He also thanked the doctors of the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he was hospitalized for the last week.
Having overcome this delicate phase, as you know, I will now gradually resume my activities, always with the help of God and your prayers. Once again, thank you.
The thanks of Pope Leo XIV, today, in the usual Sunday prayer at the Vatican, just one day after being discharged from the hospital, as we heard, was ovated by the thousands of people who were in Praça de São Pedro, in Rome, this morning.
And the number of detainees after yesterday's protests in France rose to more than 1800, but this is still a provisional number.
It was published by the French Minister of the Interior on the social network X. In this publication, he emphasizes that the acts of violence were committed by several thousand individuals from the far-left, similar to what the French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, had said yesterday. The Minister of the Interior also adds that 500 members of the authority forces were injured. He also says that nothing can justify what happened and that a protest cannot be carried out sowing disorder and violence in a coordinated way. The French Prime Minister came today to preside over an interministerial crisis cell to analyze yesterday's riots. Sébastien Lecornu requested that the procuratorates request preventive arrest of all those detained. There are then more than 1800. The press in France reports that there are at least five critically injured in hospitals after the violence recorded yesterday in several cities of the country.
And now with eight minutes until 1:00 PM, what other news, Luís, mark the current events?
A drone descended in a city in northern Lithuania, near the border with Latvia. The Lithuanian Prime Minister did not detail the origin of the device, but stated that the war of Russia against Ukraine is spreading to the eastern flank of NATO and the European Union. The head of government does not rule out the hypothesis of sabotage and has already called a meeting of the National Security Commission for tomorrow. This morning an alert was declared due to an object detected by the radars, which then turned out to be a drone. Iúri Leitão and Ivo Oliveira won a silver medal in the Madison competition at the World Track Championships in Shanghai. They won the fourth medal for Portugal. Yesterday, Iúri Leitão had won gold in omnium. Maria Martins and Miguel Salgueiro won a bronze medal each. And Rita, these days have been marked, we know, by the housing crisis. And now we learn that an island in Scotland is for sale.
And is it an entire island? That must be expensive.
Let's say it is about the same price as a T1 in Lisbon.
That is, anything like 400 or more 1000 euros for an island, but that is still affordable for an entire island.
If it is, isn't it? It is an island located off the west coast of Shetland, with about 110 hectares. It has an old stone house and a small private jetty. It offers isolation, contact with nature, but whoever buys it, attention, must take into account some challenges, namely the lack of some basic infrastructures. For example, it has no connection to the power grid. The electricity is generated by a wind turbine and also has a diesel generator. And to get there, only by boat. There is no other option than by boat. Whoever buys this property must also confirm if there is a water supply and if they want to do works, they will have to deal with the licenses. And therefore, yes, this property in Scotland is cheaper than a T1 in Lisbon, or about the same price, but all these details must be taken into account, which can make this deal a little more expensive.
God give me leave! And so we close the 1 PM newspaper and the 360 AMs of the weekend with the edition by Luís Soares. Luís, until next time.
Until next time, Rita.
