Anti-austerity movement in Portugal
The 12 March Movement (Portuguese: Movimento 12 de Março) or the Geração à Rasca (Portuguese: [ʒɛɾɐˈsɐ̃w a ˈʁaʃkɐ], "struggling generation") protest took place in more than 10 cities of Portugal against the economic crisis and labour rights. They were the biggest events since the 1974 Carnation Revolution and organized without support from political parties or trades unions.
