About 200 students protest in Porto against tuition fees and for better scholarships

Approximately 200 students gathered at the University of Porto's social services to protest against government proposals in the 2027 State Budget, specifically the potential end of the tuition fee freeze and concerns over housing and scholarship funding. The proposal, if approved, would link tuition fees to inflation starting in the 2027/2028 academic year, potentially raising the current 697-euro ceiling.
