Hundreds of thousands march against austerity in Portugal
Posted on March 3, 2013 by END TIME HEADLINES
Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of Lisbon and other
Portuguese cities Saturday to protest against the government’s austerity
measures aimed at rescuing the debt-hit eurozone nation. The rallies
were organised by a non-political movement which claimed 500,000 marched
in the country’s capital and another 400,000 in the main northern city
of Porto. There have been no official estimates of the crowds. But the
mood of the crowd was clearly political, calling for new elections with
banners declaring “Portugal to the polls!” and “If you fall asleep in a
democracy, you wake up in a dictatorship”. MORE
