In the early hours of Tuesday, a man was killed in the centre of Lisbon, hit by a stone. His name was Antenor Mendonça, he was 84 years old, and against his family's wishes, he left Marrazes, Leiria, where he lived, and came to Lisbon, aimlessly, without contacts, without a home and, obviously, given his age, without a job. He kept in touch with his family for a while, but then cut off contact. He lived on the streets of Lisbon, homeless. The reasons for his death are as obvious as they are ridiculous: a fight over a place to sleep on the street or an attempted theft of one of his belongings. With greater or lesser difficulty, the PJ will solve this crime, identifying and arresting the perpetrator. But this is an occurrence that, despite its violence, has very little to do with a "criminal act" and much more to do with human and social misery. How is it possible for these events to happen in the 21st century, or how could Antenor's family take care of him against his will? What leads a man, in the final stages of his life, to leave his children, grandchildren and other family behind to come to Lisbon with the intention of living in freedom, without anyone giving him orders? But does being free mean sleeping on the streets and living in the deepest poverty? A human drama.
