A young man involved in the assault of actor Adérito Lopes on June 10th near Teatro A Barraca has come forward, acknowledging his actions and expressing a desire to apologize to the actor.

The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the motives behind the attack. The young man claims the assault was a personal reaction to being offended, a claim the actor disputes. This case has brought attention to the presence of extremist groups in public spaces and their potential influence on violent acts.
