A 24-hour strike in Portugal against proposed austerity measures has grounded flights and halted public transport.
Hundreds of thousands of workers took part in the action, including air traffic controllers, metro workers, teachers and hospital staff.
Interesting stuff Leon! You seen any interesting stuff around where you are?
My area was quiet with loads of places closed and all transport down.
Not far up the road though, police dressed as civilians were attacking people out on strike. It's looking quite messy. Here's a link to an article about it - with a video clip. If you paste the link into google translate you can read it in English.
