Thousands take to Lisbon streets over proposed labour laws

Thousands protest proposed labour laws in Lisbon, Portugal, as demonstrators rally against government efforts to ease firing rules and limit workers' rights. The proposed changes include outsourcing work and reducing compassionate leave, sparking outrage among citizens and labor unions in the country. The significant opposition has led to plans for a general strike on 11 December to challenge what has been described as a severe attack on workers by the centre-right government.
