Police and civil guards barricade themselves in the Interior Ministry after negotiations over their retirement break down

Police and civil guards have staged an unprecedented protest by locking themselves inside the Ministry of Interior after negotiations regarding their retirement conditions broke down. Approximately 25 representatives from nine unions and associations initiated this indefinite sit-in following the ministry's decision to halt discussions. They demand concrete commitments and solutions after nearly a year of meetings without progress. The unions had hoped for a legal framework for any potential agreement before the upcoming general elections on November 29. The protest aims to pressure the government to recognize their work and address their retirement concerns.
