Vida Justa

In a significant demonstration, 10,000 people gathered in front of the Portuguese Parliament, in Lisbon, mobilized by the civic movement "Vida Justa" (Just Life), that unites several residents’ associations from the outskirts of the capital. These protesters came together to raise their voices in a resounding call for change, highlighting their unwavering commitment to key social issues in front of the historic assembly building.

At the heart of this gathering were the demands for the fundamental right to affordable rent, decent wages, and the protection of human rights for immigrants. "Vida Justa" was not merely a movement but a poignant expression of the collective will for an improved quality of life, transcending socio-economic and cultural boundaries.
