Statement by Paulo Raimundo, General Secretary of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) concerning the General Strike against the government's "Labour Package" held across Portugal on Wednesday 3 May.
"Today’s (3 May) General Strike is a powerful action to defeat the Labour Package [of labour laws] which was presented by the PSD/CDS Government and supported by Chega, IL [parties] and the bosses’ confederations. It is a clear rejection of social regression and of the heightened exploitation that they wish to impose upon the workers.
