Nurses from the 39 ULS and two IPOs reveal doubts about salary repositioning

The Portuguese Nursing Union Association (ASPE) carried out a national consultation on the application of Law No. 51/2025, of April 7, which revealed significant inequalities in implementation among the 39 Local Health Units (ULS) and the two Portuguese Oncology Institutes. The survey, with 545 responses and 185 open comments, shows that many institutions have not yet identified the nurses covered, there are delays in execution, lack of response from Human Resources services and Boards of Directors, and persistent doubts about salary repositioning and payment of retroactive amounts. Many professionals do not know if they are entitled to salary correction, what their new salary level is, or when they will receive the outstanding amounts. ASPE demands that the Central Administration of the Health System issue clear guidelines to ensure equality in the application of the law and that each nurse receives individualized explanations about the calculations and amounts due.

Sustainability: Avoid contradictions and increase ambition

This opinion article analyses sustainability in Portugal, acknowledging progress such as the closure of coal production and the expansion of renewable energy, but warning of deep contradictions: dependence on fossil fuels in mobility, waste of materials that should be recycled, pressure on soils, forests and ecosystems. The author argues that Portugal should aim for carbon neutrality by 2045 or earlier, through five essential measures: progressive abandonment of fossil fuels, territorial planning for climate adaptation, taxation and public funds aligned with environmental objectives, better monitoring based on science, and involvement of citizens, local authorities and businesses in the transformation. It concludes that investments in a sustainable future are a guarantee of quality of life, competitiveness and social justice.
