Hundreds of people protested against proposed privatization of five beaches and natural spaces along the Arrábida coast in Portugal. The demonstration took the form of a march between Setúbal and the Comenda Picnic Park. Protestors voiced their opposition to plans that would limit public access to these popular coastal areas. Organizers fear privatization will negatively impact local communities and restrict enjoyment of the natural environment. The move to privatize the beaches has sparked widespread concern about the commodification of Portugal’s coastline. Demonstrators are demanding the government reconsider the proposals and prioritize public access to the nation's natural resources. This protest highlights a growing concern over coastal access and environmental protection in Portugal.
