ANAFRE — Associação Nacional de Freguesias (National Association of Freguesias)
The association of freguesias — the smallest units of local government in Portugal. It negotiates on their behalf with the government and political parties: on money from the state budget, on services run by the juntas de freguesia and on the powers of local authorities.
Where you come across it. News about the budget and local government, protests and closures of juntas de freguesia.
ANAFRE's decisions are an appeal to freguesias, not an order: it is best to check with your own junta whether it will be open on the announced day.
