Montenegro regrets that Chega has joined the left to screw up the labour package

The Prime Minister of Portugal, Luís Montenegro, expressed disappointment that the Chega party joined forces with the left to reject a labor reform package. He emphasized that the government remains committed to making Portugal more competitive and productive through the reforms. Montenegro stated that negotiations with Chega were thorough but noted that the party imposed conditions related to the sustainability of the social security system and changes to retirement age, which he refused to accept. He reiterated that pensions are sacred and would not take any measures that could jeopardize未来的

André Ventura afirmou esta sexta-feira (19 de junho) que o Chega “não se vende, nem verga” e justificou o voto contra a revisão da lei laboral dizendo que quem não aceita descer a idade da reforma não conta com o partido.

O líder do Chega recorreu à rede social X, onde escreveu na sua página oficial que o “Governo e as suas muletas têm de perceber que o Chega não se vende, nem verga”.

“Ou aceitam proteger quem trabalha, ou aceitam corrigir a imoralidade da idade da reforma e das reformas milionárias, ou não contam connosco!”, indicou, numa mensagem publicada momentos após a votação.

A proposta do Governo para rever a legislação laboral foi hoje chumbada, na generalidade, com os votos contra do Chega e da esquerda parlamentar, após o partido de André Ventura não ter alcançado um acordo com o PSD.

O texto contou apenas com os votos a favor dos partidos que suportam o Governo (PSD-CDS-PP) e da IL.

PS, Livre, PCP, BE, PAN e JPP juntaram-se nos votos contra da bancada do Chega.

O resultado da votação da proposta do Governo esteve em aberto até ao último momento, com negociações entre PSD e Chega. A bancada liderada por Pedro Pinto chegou mesmo a pedir a suspensão dos trabalhos durante meia hora antes do início da votações.

O líder do Chega tinha anunciado que votaria contra a proposta do Governo na generalidade caso ela se mantivesse como estava, e foi apresentando algumas exigências. Antes da votação, reuniu-se duas vezes com o primeiro-ministro e líder do PSD, Luís Montenegro, em São Bento.

André Ventura deu particular ênfase à descida da idade da reforma - chegando mesmo a exigir um compromisso escrito por parte do Governo - , além da reposição dos dias de férias, a proteção dos direitos das mães que amamentam, a licença para os avós poderem cuidar dos netos, ou a valorização dos trabalhadores por turnos.

Na quarta-feira, durante o debate quinzenal, o primeiro-ministro manifestou a disponibilidade do Governo para enriquecer a proposta, mas assinalou que "essa aproximação" só seria possível se a iniciativa fosse viabilizada na generalidade, quando questionado pelo presidente do Chega.

O líder parlamentar do PSD acusou o Chega de ter tentado colocar “em causa a sustentabilidade da Segurança Social” e “brincar com as pensões” à “25.ª hora”, durante as negociações sobre a reforma laboral que acabou chumbada.

“O que aconteceu é muito simples: à 25.ª hora, o deputado André Ventura quis pôr em causa a sustentabilidade da Segurança Social e com o PSD ninguém brinca com as pensões dos portugueses” , defendeu Hugo Soares, na primeira reação após o chumbo da reforma laboral apresentada pelo Governo, com votos contra da esquerda parlamentar e do Chega.

Durante uma intervenção de voto oral, ainda no hemiciclo, o social-democrata salientou que para a sua bancada as pensões “não são motivo de brincadeira nem de precipitações de última hora”.

Hugo Soares disse ainda que “muitos falam de reformas, mas poucos são capazes de as fazer” e que o PSD “levou à sério este processo na concertação social” e no parlamento.

Numa declaração posterior, André Ventura recusou a crítica e remeteu para uma notícia de maio, indicando que já nessa altura o Chega defendia a redução da idade da reforma.

“Se isto é última hora, nós não estamos habituados a vender-nos”, afirmou.

Chumbo das alterações à lei laboral é "um sinal para o Governo"

O secretário-geral da CGTP congratulou-se com o chumbo da proposta de revisão da legislação laboral, considerando que a luta dos trabalhadores foi "determinante" e avisa que o desfecho é "um sinal para o Governo".

Em declarações aos jornalistas, na Assembleia da República, poucos minutos depois de a proposta do Governo de revisão da lei laboral ter sido rejeitada, Tiago Oliveira saudou o desfecho considerando que a luta desenvolvida ao longo dos últimos 11 meses foi "determinante".

" E hoje está provado que é a luta dos trabalhadores [...] que iria determinar qualquer desfecho", enalteceu o líder da CGTP, sublinhando que os partidos "votaram condicionados pela luta dos trabalhadores".

Tiago Oliveira disse ainda que este "é um sinal para o Governo", acusando o executivo liderado por Luís Montenegro de estar "de mãos dadas com uma minoria, com os patrões" e que "legisla sempre com a perspetiva de olhar para o país como uma folha de Excel", esquecendo os trabalhadores.

"Tudo aquilo que tem sido a política seguida traduziu-se na derrota da proposta do Governo", afirmou.

O secretário-geral da CGTP referiu ainda que a Prestação Social Única (PSU) que está a ser discutida na especialidade na Comissão de Trabalho, Segurança Social…
