“Police deployed in large numbers in Lisbon, blocking off some streets and keeping at bay demonstrators who booed Merkel as she arrived at the presidential headquarters. Activists brandished banners reading: ‘She wants to kill the Portuguese, she wants supremacy in Europe!’; ‘Portugal is not Merkel’s country’; ‘Angela Merkel assassin’; and ‘A European Germany yes, a German Europe no’. Demonstrators released black balloons in a sign of ‘mourning’ and covered several Lisbon monuments in black sheets to show their discontent.”
