  • LISBON, PORTUGAL – SEPTEMBER 29: Protestors parade from Alameda D. Afonso Henriques, passing through Avenida Almirante Reis, downtown Lisbon and Praça do Municipio during “Save Portugal”, a far-right Chega Party demonstration against “uncontrolled immigration and insecurity in the streets”, on September 29, 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon city center once again is the scene of two opposing demonstrations. On one hand, “Save Portugal” protest organized by Chega, against what it says is “uncontrolled immigration”, pointing the finger at Muslims; on the other, the “Não Passarão” (They shall not Pass) counter-demonstration by anti-fascist collectives, who condemn Chega’s use of images with Islamophobic stereotypes and the creation of a false link between immigration and crime.
