Portugal has taken austerity measures to a new level with the decision to scrap four of its 14 public holidays.
Two religious festivals and two other public holidays will be suspended for five years from 2013.

Just how many more cuts can they take before they start cutting banksters!

And Good Friday on top of that, but that's up to your employer to give it as a day off or not (mine didn't).
