CGTP calls for a "large demonstration" on November 21

The CGTP-IN announced a national demonstration in Lisbon on November 21, urging workers to make the month a time 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 as a political tool and called for a new direction for the country. Oliveira warned that the budget would only pass with support from those backing it, which he deemed detrimental to workers and the nation. He encouraged workers to participate in the planned actions, recalling their previous successes in labor legislation rejection.
