Thousands of people joined the national protest on the Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon on 19 March, organised by the CGTP-IN union confederation. The demonstration brought together trade unions from both public and private sectors. The unions will follow this up 1 April, National Youth Day, with action focusing in particular on youth unemployment, and 2 April, focusing on education.
