End of the 6x1 schedule: Senate committee opens session and rapporteur presents text

oglobo2 September 2026 at 13:24

The rapporteur of the constitutional amendment proposal (PEC) that ends the 6x1 work schedule, Senator Omar Aziz (PSD-AM), began on Wednesday morning the reading of his report in the Senate's Committee on Constitution and Justice (CCJ). The report does not bring modifications to the proposal, which had already been approved by the Chamber of Deputies.

The proposal aims to replace the schedule of six days of work and one day of rest with a model that limits the weekly workload. Omar Aziz expressed intention to establish a special calendar for voting before the elections.

Despite threats from opposition parties to use procedural maneuvers to obstruct the vote in the committee, the government leader in the Senate, Teresa Leitão (PT-PE), stated there are enough votes to approve the PEC in the CCJ.

The bloquista Pureza admitted that Luís Neves "has become an agent of confusion", but criticized André Ventura for ignoring the cost of living of the Portuguese, stating that "Montenegro thanks you and the people continue with bills unpaid".

The communists made clear they will not vote in favor of any Chega proposal on this matter, although they do not completely close the door to a possible abstention, reserving the voting stance for further analysis.

Works, contracts and financial infractions: the six investigations scrutinizing the seven years of Luís Neves at the head of the PJ

Luís Neves, who for seven years led the Judicial Police (PJ), is now the subject of half a dozen investigations examining his tenure at the head of the police force that investigates serious crime. The investigations focus on works, contracts, and financial infractions from that period. The situation is marked by an institutional irony: now as Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves is being scrutinized by the institution he previously directed.
