Protesters yesterday afternoon marched against what they described as the “brutal” increase in the government’s vehicle-related fees and charges.

Lawmaker-cum-unionist Jose Pereira Coutinho, who led the march, told reporters that about 5,000 “outraged citizens” participated in the demonstration.

According to a statement by the Public Security Police (PSP), about 1,600 citizens joined the protest.
