Context & Explainers
ANAFRE is the National Association of Parishes (Associação Nacional de Freguesias), which represents Portugal’s parish councils (juntas de freguesia). It lobbies on local-government rules and services; in this story it asked parish councils to check citizen declarations and criticised a law requiring certificates when two parish residents sign a declaration.
