IANAL, but if you didn't understand the contract, chances are its not valid.
If labor law is like in France, this could mean that your employment is assumed to be of the indefinite variety (since no valid contract dictates otherwise), and your firing could be illegal. In France this means they could owe you 6 months of wages.
This is Portugal, so some EU directives might cover a similar concept, and you could be entitled to a little settlement on the issue (granted French labor law is pretty intense, so your results may vary).
Anyways, a lawyer would be good. If you have any portuguese friends with good google-fu (or knowledge of employment law) they might be able to at least smell test this path.

And Some country's blatantly stack the decks against outsiders non Italian university lecturers in Italy have been trying for decades to get parity with their Italian colleagues.
