Well, besides the links I sent to the list in March, I don't think
there is much more that is really worthy of mention. On October 15
there will be another demonstration here in Lisbon which will happen
simultaneously in several cities all over Europe and other parts of
the world: http://www.15outubro.info/. BBC has recently published an
article on the flee of young unemployed graduates from Portugal to
Brazil and Angola:

I'll add again here the links about last March's rally, just in case:

Washington Post and Reuters' reports here:

Spanish newspapers El País and El Mundo also mentioned the rally:

Anyway, I will ask some friends over Facebook who are specifically
researching and involved with this issue to provide some additional
info for the entry in the P2P Foundation wiki.

Best,
