CONSEQUENCE OF THE IMPOSED AUSTERITY
Portugal 24 November: General Strike

Following the agreement signed with the IMF/EU/ECB Troika, Portugal is confronted with a new and more severe austerity programme, unprecedented since the inauguration of democracy.

Against exploitation and impoverishment, for jobs, salaries, rights and public services !

General Strike jointly organised by: UGT Portugal and CGTP-IN

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES

Against exploitation and impoverishment, for a developed and sovereign Portugal, for jobs, salaries, rights, public services

Portugal needs a different policy

  • Renegotiation of deadlines’ debt, interest rates and amounts;
  • Policy that promotes growth and jobs with rights;
  • Enhancing the productive sector and pay and pension rises;
  • Ensuring the protection and strengthening of the state’s social duties and public services;
  • Valuing work and respecting workers.

The ETUC expresses its solidarity and full support with the day of action
