Union of Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians Calls Off INEM Strike

SOL11 September 2026 at 13:48

The Union of Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians (STEPH) called off the strike that was scheduled for September 14 and 28. The decision was made after a four-hour meeting between STEPH, the Government, and INEM.

The agreement reached guarantees the maintenance of the current emergency response, ensuring that pre-hospital emergency services continue to operate without interruptions.

The union also secured a commitment to strengthen the pre-hospital care system, which represents a victory for pre-hospital emergency technicians following negotiations with the authorities.

Why this matters

Citizens who depend on pre-hospital emergency services benefit directly from the strike being called off, as interruptions in urgent healthcare are avoided. Emergency technicians and INEM itself are also affected, since the agreement responds to labor demands in the sector, and the implementation of the commitments made by the Government will now follow.

Indian prime minister calls on BRICS for a roadmap to reform global governance

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called at the BRICS summit in New Delhi for a roadmap to reform global governance, arguing that the current structure functions as a pyramid where power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while affected countries lack the capacity to influence. Modi outlined three axes for reform — representation, responsiveness, and norm-making — and stressed that the reform of the United Nations Security Council "can no longer be postponed," demanding negotiations with set deadlines. India, which holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, sought to position BRICS as a platform for reforming the international system and not as a confrontation alliance, arguing that the Global South should cease being merely a recipient of norms to participate in their development.
