Public Protest

Yesterday was the hottest day this year with temperatures rising up to almost 40 degrees Celsius. Even so around ten thousand people came to Guimaraes a city in the north of Portugal to participate in a public protest against the Portuguese government and his policies in terms of work rights. The demonstrators choose this city and day because of the Informal Meeting of Employment and Social Affairs happening here during yesterday and today where Delegates from all European Countries came to discuss the future coordination of policies for employment and social protection.
Below are some photos but you can check HERE the slideshow with photos and sounds of the protest.
