CGTP calls for a national demonstration on November 21

The CGTP has called for a national demonstration on November 21 in Lisbon, advocating for higher wages and better pensions, as well as access to health, housing, education, and social security. The union criticizes decades of right-wing policies that have led to difficulties for workers and the degradation of public services. They accuse the current government of attacking fundamental rights and promoting privatization and disinvestment in public services. This demonstration coincides with various protests and precedes the final vote on the 2027 State Budget, which the CGTP views as detrimental to workers' rights and national welfare.
