The PS secretary-general argued this Tuesday, March 10, that the Prime Minister must explain himself “if he is unable to promote fundamental agreements” for the country, and considered that the “labour proposals presented by the Government represented a choice for inhumanity.” Speaking to journalists in Lisbon, José Luís Carneiro addressed the lack of agreement between the Government and social partners regarding the labour package, stating that the Prime Minister, Luís Montenegro, owes the country an explanation. Carneiro emphasized that the PS will not support proposals that increase precariousness and noted that the President of the Republic, António José Seguro, had previously indicated he would veto the package if it remained in its initial form.
