More than a hundred people marched in central Lisbon in a protest organised by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (Confederação Geral dos Trabalhadores Portugueses or CGTP) demanding equality and opposing a labour package they say will worsen conditions for women. The march moved from Largo de Camões towards the parliament with banners and leaflets criticising the proposed changes. Workers and those concerned about labour rights should follow union and parliamentary developments.
