"Madam President, like in Greece, the government in Portugal is also carrying out a severe attack against labour rights and the social functions of the state. Under the pretext of compliance with the Troika’s memorandum, the Portuguese Government has tabled a draft national budget that constitutes an all-out attack on workers’ rights, public services and the social functions of the state. It includes pay cuts, increased working hours, weakened collective bargaining, increased taxes on general consumer goods and services and the reduction or abolition of essential public services and support in areas as vital as health, education, social protection, transport and communication. All this foreshadows a serious economic and social crisis, which is the reason for the small- and large-scale protests of the workers and peoples, with which we would express our solidarity, such as the protests last weekend in Montemor-o-Novo, Alentejo, against the night-time closure of the hospital’s accident and emergency department, and in Lisbon, where more than 10 000 trade unionists and activists held a national assembly and a march with broad public backing. These are struggles that will continue across various other sectors. There is also a general strike planned for 24 November. We would like to express our solidarity, and we call on everyone to do the same."@en1
