Porto protests persist, bread on World Food Day & expat author Q&A plus weather & currency

On Feelgood Friday, 16th October 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news reports that Porto housing protests are persisting after clashes with police in Praça Dom João I, following six nights of demonstrations, with parts of the government defending police action and others questioning it.



Other headlines include World Food Day and World Bread Day, a TAP union warning that workers must not be left to rescue the airline again, the forestry sector set to attract major investment, organisers ordering immediate dispersal of the Porto protest, and parties proposing charges for non-residents’ healthcare.



Lisbon is forecast at 30°C and Évora the same.



Tonight at 18:00 the Book Ravers project hosts expat author Louise Ross for a live Q&A, and Coach Turner joins on 50+ fitness and positive outlook.
