INEM strike called off after meeting with Ministry: 'It was the triumph of common sense'

Now11 September 2026 at 19:11

The INEM strike was called off after a meeting between workers and the Ministry of Health. The moment was described as "the triumph of common sense", reflecting an agreement reached between the parties.

Rui Cruz highlighted that the Health Minister agreed with the strikers to add more than 200 Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians (TEPH) to the system. This reinforcement represents a victory for the professionals who threatened to go ahead with the strike.

The negotiation allowed avoiding the strike that could have affected emergency medical services in Portugal. The agreement demonstrates that dialogue between the government and INEM workers was fundamental in resolving the labor conflict.

Rui Rocha: "MPs make many flourishes; they're used to TikTok"

In an interview with Jornal Económico, Rui Rocha, former leader of Iniciativa Liberal, explained the methodology behind his standout performance at the parliamentary hearing of Minister Luís Neves, where he asked concrete and focused questions that exposed the minister's inability to respond to important matters. Rocha criticized the remaining MPs for using open and too "flowery" questions, a habit he attributes to their familiarity with social media like TikTok. He defended that a good parliamentary question should be concise, closed, and preceded by a clear position from the questioner, in order to force the interlocutor to rebut or, through silence, validate his thesis. He revealed he started preparation in August, with a small team, and regretted not having had time to ask the minister what he would do if he were made a defendant.
