Judicial workers protest over the return of trials to courts

SIC Notícias1 September 2026 at 15:33

Judicial workers protested over the return of trials to courts, expressing their disagreement with the situation they face in their daily work in judicial institutions. The protests come at a time when courts are returning to normal activity after a period of interruption or reduced operation.

The significant increase in criminal cases is worsening the situation in courts, overloading judicial workers who were already facing difficulties before the resumption of trials. This additional pressure places even more strain on the professionals working in these institutions.

Judicial workers threaten to resort to strikes if the delays in promised reforms for the sector continue. This threat of strike action reflects the degree of dissatisfaction of the professional class with the way the situation is being managed by the competent authorities.

The combination of the return of trials with the accumulation of cases and the absence of structural reforms creates a scenario of tension in the justice sector, with workers demanding concrete responses to the problems they face.
