PSP and GNR in protest. Security forces heading to the Prime Minister's residence

A national protest by police and GNR forces began in Lisbon, organized by ASPP/PSP and APG/GNR, demanding better salaries and working conditions. The demonstration, starting from Largo de Camões towards the Prime Minister's residence, highlights the impact of the housing crisis on security professionals, especially those early in their careers. Union leaders emphasize the need for salary increases and a review of remuneration statutes, with claims dating back to an unfulfilled agreement from 2024. Protesters express their frustrations through slogans and demands for respect and compliance with previous agreements, while negotiations with the government are criticized as ineffective.
