A strike organized by the Migration Technicians Union (Sindicato dos Técnicos da Migração or STM) disrupted operations at several branches of the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo). Union officials claimed turnout reached roughly 50%, closing branches in Faro and Porto, while the agency reported only 11.31% participation with 94 workers walking out. Employees are striking over unaddressed salary demands and the absence of a dedicated career structure.
