LISBON (Reuters) - Hundreds of protesters marched through one of Lisbon's main avenues on Saturday shouting "Portugal is not racist", in a demonstration organised by the leader of a far-right party known for his derogatory remarks against ethnic minorities.
Dozens of police officers were on standby as protesters wearing face masks marched and waved Portuguese flags in the demonstration organised by the leader of the Chega (Enough) party Andre Ventura, a former soccer commentator. There were no immediate reports of violence or arrests.
