The Ministry of Internal Administration stated that the dates of the meetings with the unions and associations of the security forces were always scheduled in the calendar, seeking to deny the idea that the Executive would have yielded to the pressure of the protests to schedule these meetings.
The unions and associations of the PSP and the GNR rejected this version of the facts, arguing that the meetings were scheduled in response to the mobilization of the agents and to the protests that have been taking place in various cities across the country.
The security forces have been protesting for better working conditions, including salary increases, career reviews, and improvements in shift and retirement schemes, demands that have been accumulating over recent years.
The protests by the PSP and the GNR continued to take place even after the announcement of the meetings with the Ministry of Internal Administration, evidencing the persistent dissatisfaction among the agents of both security forces.
