LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Hundreds of Portuguese firefighters protested for better working conditions outside the national parliament on Wednesday.
Wearing full firefighting gear, the protestors occupied the steps leading to the Assembleia da Republica.
A line of police linked arms in front of them as the firefighters opened smoke canisters, lit flares and sounded sirens. One held up a sign saying “Shame.”
The protest was organized by a national firefighting union to demand better pay and working hours.
The European nation’s firefighters battled extensive wildfires last month.
