The 2025 Portuguese general strike took place on 11 December against the policies of the Democratic Alliance government regarding the labor package. The demonstrations took place throughout the country, organized by the two main trade union federations, CGTP and UGT.[1] This was the largest general strike since 2013, when Portugal went through its biggest financial austerity crisis. [2] At the end of the demonstration in front of the Assembly of the Republic in Lisbon, clashes were recorded between riot police and demonstrators.[3]
