A group of teachers is organising demonstrations at Portuguese airports on 22 April to "show tourists that although the country is wonderful, it does not have a valued public school"
The initiative comes from the "Missão Escola Pública" movement - the same one that organised the protest that brought together hundreds of teachers near the 25th of April bridge in Almada, about a month ago.
This time, the stages of the protest will be the various national airports - with greater incidence at Humberto Delgado (Lisbon), Francisco Sá Carneiro (Oporto) and Gago Coutinho (Faro).
The "airport assault", they say, is scheduled for 6pm on 22 April, with concentrations planned in the arrivals area of the different airports.
The objective is "to show tourists that, although the country is wonderful and has everything they need, it doesn't have a public school that is valued", Rui Foles, from "Missão Escola Pública", explained to Lusa.
