Seven structures of the Portuguese security forces demanded today from the Minister of Internal Administration an urgent meeting to discuss the allocation of a risk subsidy identical to that granted to the Judicial Police. The maximum deadline requested for the meeting was one week.
The entities that made this demand include four associations of the Republican National Guard (GNR) and three unions of the Public Security Police (PSP). These organizations represent the two main police corps in Portugal.
The demand for a risk subsidy similar to that of the PJ arises in the context of labor claims for better working conditions and compensation for the risks associated with the performance of policing duties.
Should the meeting not take place within the established deadline or their claims not be met, the seven structures threaten protest actions.
