Informal caregivers gather in Porto to demand decent subsidies and the right to holidays
Dozens of informal caregivers demonstrated at Avenida dos Aliados on Thursday 5 November 2026, to protest the current subsidy levels and lack of rights. Caregivers report that existing financial support is insufficient, with many receiving between 300 and 400 euros, and demand improvements to healthcare access and the introduction of a right to respite or holiday time.
Why it matters
If you are an informal caregiver, this highlights the ongoing advocacy for better state financial support and healthcare resources, though no new policies or legislative changes have been announced as a result of this protest.ObservadorRead original ↗
