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

    Andreia Costa, 50, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, holds a handrail inside a bus as she goes to work as a cleaner, in Lisbon, 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.
