Portugal enacted a law banning full-face coverings in public spaces.
Portuguese President António José Seguro signed into law a bill banning full-face coverings in public, with fines ranging from 150 to 3,000 euros. The legislation was introduced by the populist Chega party and supported by centre-right and right-wing parties, while all left-wing parties voted against it. The law includes exemptions for health, professional, artistic, weather-related, and religious worship contexts.
