Portugal Trabalho XXI: Mass Protests, Veto Threat

The article discusses mass protests in Portugal against the government's proposed “Trabalho XXI” labor reform package, which has sparked significant public opposition. Thousands marched in Lisbon and Porto on February 28, organized by the CGTP union confederation, demanding the withdrawal of the legislation that threatens to alter employment protections for millions. Key concerns include easier dismissals, expanded temporary contracts, and weakened collective bargaining rights. President António José Seguro has indicated he may veto the package due to a lack of social consensus.
