Coimbra Uni antisemitic complaint, Lisbon tourist shooting & speak Portuguese - News Review Ep.36

On the Resident news review podcast, hosts welcome Chris Graeme of Essential Business back in cooler Portugal after sweltering UK heat and discuss his multi-generational Diana Ross concert. 
They touch on UK politics in Clacton before moving to a news review: a complaint of antisemitism at the University of Coimbra involving anti-Zionist graffiti and an unsubstantiated legal claim seeking €3 million, prompting debate about protests, media attention, and free speech, including Kanye West performing in Portugal. 

The conversation then covers a Swedish tourist shot in Lisbon’s Baixa amid an unclear dispute, with concerns from residents and shopkeepers about rising petty crime and policing. 

They finish with practical advice for foreigners learning Portuguese, including reading newspapers, watching telenovelas, and mixing with Portuguese friends.
