The Left Bloc held its National Board meeting in Lisbon, where coordinator José Manuel Pureza criticised the government's labour reform and its approach to the UGT. The party is pressuring the President of the Republic to reject the legislation, framing it as a 'litmus test' for his presidency. The meeting also saw the approval of a document condemning the Trump administration's foreign policy, demanding that the Portuguese government refuse to align with US plans and prohibit the use of the Lajes Air Base for potential aggression against Iran. Furthermore, the Bloc outlined its priorities, including regulating the prices of fuel, gas, and essential food items, implementing a tax on windfall profits for energy and banking sectors, and opposing constitutional revision. Pureza also criticised the PS for its recent stance on 'golden visas' and highlighted the party's commitment to resisting the government's labour policies.
