"Just one more push and the package will fall". Young people took to the streets to protest against the Government's labour package

Hundreds of protesters marched in Lisbon this Saturday against the Government's labour package, in a demonstration called by the CGTP's youth wing, Interjovem, to voice fears of permanent job insecurity. The protest, which featured slogans such as “Just one more push and the package will fall”, saw participants demand that the Government withdraw the proposed legislation. Union leaders, including Tiago Oliveira and Gonçalo Paixão, criticised the exclusion of the CGTP from negotiations and argued that the package serves the interests of large corporations rather than workers. Political figures such as Paulo Raimundo (PCP) also attended, while representatives from various sectors, including the Catholic Workers' Youth and the Association of Scientific Research Fellows, highlighted the negative impact the package would have on job stability and professional conditions.
