Informal caregivers in Porto demand state support

Informal caregivers and people with disabilities gathered in Porto to demand financial support and basic rights, including healthcare and vacation time. Protesters highlighted the inadequate financial aid, with many receiving only 300 to 400 euros monthly. They emphasized the need for healthcare consultations specifically for caregivers and criticized the government's lack of attention to their plight. The CIGA group, representing informal caregivers, called for urgent changes in public policies to recognize their rights and ensure proper support. They argue that society must establish structures to care for individuals, as this is essential for a functioning economy.
