Cumpre apontar que o português tem restrita a atribuição do acento a uma das três últimas sílabas; desta forma, acontecerá o deslocamento do acento à direita sempre que houver tentativa de infração a tal princípio.
In Portuguese stress must be assigned on one of the three last syllables. Stress shifts to the right whenever there is an attempt of infringing on this principle.

whenever there is pressure to violate [this principle]
No one is "attempting" to violate the principle; it's the pressure of the language itself. (FYI, Portuguese linguistics was my doctoral minor.)
Lots of examples of 'violates' in Portuguese linguistics, especially in Chomsky's theory of Government and Binding. Examples:

Boston University
Binding Theory consists of three Principles that govern the allowed distribution of DPs. Pronouns: he .... The anaphors are not bound, **which violates Principle A.**

Salvatore Attardo - 1994 - Language Arts & Disciplines
"Mention theory" comes from an explanation of irony presented by Sperber and ... **violates the principle of cooperation**, which accounts precisely for successful ...

Vicki Carstens, Frederick Parkinson - 2000 - Foreign Language Study
In contrast, double object constructions are grammatical when leaving the second object in situ only** violates the Exclusion principle** referring to pronouns.
