[Jorge Figueiredo <jfgf.consult@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It would also be nice to hear from our 
friends from Europe, South America, Africa and Asia/Australia 
too. Don't we have any subscribers from these parts of the world, 
who can share relevant information with the list?
Best,

I reply to appeal of Sabri with some Portuguese
news:

Thousands of Portuguese workers, in the streets of
all Portuguese cities, manifest yesterday 30 October
against  the package of laws to deregulate work proposed 
by government.   In Lisbon manifestation there were
at least 50 thousands in the streets.  In other cities ---
Porto,
Coimbra, Aveiro, Faro, Setubal, Evora, etc ---
there were big manifestations also.  But if you read
Portuguese newspaper or watch Portuguese TV 
you see only very tiny news about this big event
--- and many pages and space for a pedophilia
scandal...

This manifestations  of 30 October are coordinated
by CGTP-Intersindical, the main central of Portuguese
trade unions.   The yellow central of trade unions
(named UGT) didn't participate in this manifestations.

The 30 October manifestations are a preparation
for the General Strike fixed for December 10
by CGTP.  After the April Revolution (1974) 
this will be the fourth general strike convoked
by CGTP.    The Portuguese Communist Party 
declared your public support  for the December 
10 General Strike.
