Outrage in Portugal: Firefighters' Union Demands Intervention Amidst Political Controversy

Firefighters' Union Criticizes Government

In a recent statement to TSF, Ricardo Cunha, president of the National Union of Sapadores Firefighters, expressed strong discontent with the actions of the government led by Luís Montenegro, labeling it as "completely shameful" and not worthy of a democratic state.

Cunha emphasized the need for intervention from Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the President of Portugal, and the Assembly of the Republic (AR) to address the situation. The union's statement reflects growing frustration within the firefighting community regarding governmental policies and their implications for public safety and service.

This controversy has sparked significant debate about the government's responsibilities towards essential services and the treatment of those who serve in these critical roles. The union's demands highlight a broader concern over the state of democracy and governance in Portugal.
