Agricultural workers in Bombarral were identified living in undignified and uninhabitable conditions. The competent authorities proceeded to notify the owner of the space where these workers resided.
The landowner was notified to relocate all workers within 24 hours. This order came following an inspection that detected the precarious conditions in which the workers were living.
The Bombarral case joins other similar episodes of labour exploitation in the Portuguese agricultural sector, where workers, often immigrants, live in situations of great housing vulnerability.
Local authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure that workers are properly rehoused and that living conditions are respected.
