Police unions and GNR associations confirm that scheduled protests will continue despite the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) calling for meetings on September 17 and September 29. The government stated these dates were already planned, but the security forces' representative bodies deny this, maintaining their protest actions remain on track.
The union representing INEM (National Institute of Medical Emergency) technicians has reached an agreement with the Government, leading to the cancellation of the planned strike.
The GNR professional association (APG/GNR) announced a cycle of protests between late September and mid-October, culminating in a large national protest action. The protests, organized jointly with the main PSP police union, concern the government's failure to implement promised salary increases, career revisions, and pension adjustments following a 2024 agreement.
