CGTP leader demands price controls and accuses Government of ignoring workers' struggles
The secretary-general of the CGTP union, Tiago Oliveira, led a demonstration in Lisbon on 17 October calling for state-imposed price caps on essential goods, fuel, and interest rates. The union is advocating for an increase in the national minimum wage to 1,110 euros and held a rally at Rossio to protest against the current cost of living, housing costs, and government economic policy.
Why it matters
This demonstration highlights the ongoing pressure from unions for government intervention in living costs like housing and fuel; while no new law was announced, it reflects the systemic public dissatisfaction with affordability that could lead to future industrial action or policy shifts.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
