    The Wider Image: Migrants struggle to cope with Portugal’s ‘suffocating’

    Marcia Leandro, 43, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (L), and Andreia Costa, 50, from Sao Paulo, Brazil (R), walk through Carcavelos train station as they come back from their work as cleaners, to the improvised campsite in a field where they live in Carcavelos, in Cascais, Portugal, October 11, 2023. Costa arrived legally in Portugal with just 600 euros and could only find cleaning jobs paying the then national minimum wage of 760 euros a month. Rent of 400 euros a month for a small room quickly became unaffordable. "I shouldn't have to pay more than 50 percent of my salary for a room," she said. "Renting really suffocates people's lives."

    ABOUT QUEWS

    We are a news service born out of a global loss of confidence in media and destabilising polarisation of attitudes. We believe it is possible, indeed necessary, to create a public forum where vital issues of the day are discussed, debated, analysed and circulated.
