The Livre, Bloco de Esquerda, and PCP have expressed support for these initiatives, while the PAN, although not explicitly stating its stance, suggested it is “more than time” to review the opening hours of commercial establishments.
A group of citizens has submitted a proposal to amend the operating hours for commercial establishments.
This proposal, backed by over 23,000 signatories, calls for the closure of businesses on Sundays and holidays and a reduction in operational hours until 10:00 PM.
The Bloco de Esquerda has introduced a bill aiming to close large commercial surfaces on Sundays and holidays.
The bill includes an exception for cinemas and dining establishments.
