Portugal's parliament rejects labour law reform, dealing a blow to the government

The Portuguese parliament rejected the government's labor law reform proposal, which aimed to increase productivity and stimulate economic growth by modifying over 100 labor code provisions. The reform was opposed by the far-right party 'Chega!' and the center-left Socialist Party of Portugal. According to trade unions, the reforms would benefit employers at the expense of workers' rights. The government's coalition supported the bill with 91 members, while all other deputies voted against it, including 60 from 'Chega!' and 58 from the Socialist Party.
