CGTP calls for a "large national demonstration" on November 21 and promises a fight "on the rise"

The CGTP-IN announced a major national demonstration in Lisbon on November 21, urging workers to make November a month of action. Secretary-General Tiago Oliveira criticized the government for failing to address workers' issues, including rising living costs and public services. He emphasized the importance of the state budget and called for unity among workers to oppose policies detrimental to their rights. Oliveira also condemned any limitations on the right to protest, asserting that the CGTP will not accept restrictions on union freedoms. He highlighted the need for effective forms of protest and criticized the government's stance on minimum wage increases, suggesting they do not reflect the realities faced by most workers.
