Groups from across Portugal to march in Lisbon on 21 November against large-scale projects

Associations and citizens from several regions will march in Lisbon on 21 November against projects they say threaten local land and communities. According to Quercus, the "Mega-Protesto" demands more transparency in how large developments are approved and respect for residents' say in decisions affecting their areas. It brings together opponents of mining, solar and wind parks, data centres, intensive farming and property schemes, and cites more than a hundred identified environmental conflicts. The Barroso lithium mine is one flagged case. The march starts at 2.30pm at Parque Eduardo VII and ends at parliament.
