Evidence review · November 15, 2026. The local-language follow-up added evidence in the rows below.
| Area | What the sources establish |
|---|---|
| Policing and dispersal | The case sources reviewed here do not establish a spending total for protest policing, overtime or dispersal. |
| Property damage and repairs | No verified repair bill attributable to these protests appears in the sources reviewed for this profile. |
| Businesses and economic activity | The coverage does not establish lost sales, insured losses or a nationwide business impact. |
| Transport and access | On October 2, 2025, Renascença reported that Palestine solidarity protesters blocked traffic in Lisbon and Porto. That establishes an interruption in two cities. The available account does not provide verified business losses or an operator-wide estimate. Renascença traffic report |

These population measures have different denominators and dates. Neither identifies participants in a demonstration, and aggregating their counts cannot establish which people caused a disruption.
