General Strike Protests In Porto, Portugal

People gather for protests in Porto, Portugal, as a general strike takes place, disrupting several public services and some private entities. After a large gathering, protesters make their way through traffic. Several schools are closed, public transportation is significantly reduced, and medical appointments are canceled or delayed. This is the first general strike since 2013, and unions launch it to protest against proposed major labor reforms by the ruling government, led by Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
