After thunderous protest in Lisbon over the weekend which brought busloads of protesters from all over the country, the CGTP union is threatening further strike action for July 10.
This will follow a doctor’s strike earmarked for July 8 and 9.
Union leader Arménio Carlos (pictured) confirmed the July 10 action in front of hundreds of demonstrators in Rossio on Saturday.
The government’s labour policies are leading to increased poverty, he claimed as the crowds before him chanted the habitual: “A luta continua, Governo para a rua” (loosely translated into, ‘we have to keep protesting until the government falls’).
