"By betting everything on labor reform, Government accelerated towards the wall," accuses Miguel Cabrita, PS deputy

PS deputy Miguel Cabrita criticized on Monday, at a conference organized by Jornal Económico in Lisbon, the way the current Government conducted the labor reform, considering that the executive "accelerated towards the wall" by placing this change at the center of economic transformation without prior studies, diagnostic assessment, or sufficient political legitimacy. Cabrita argued that labor legislation can and should be changed, but rejected that a reform of the Labor Code can, by itself, solve the structural problems of productivity and competitiveness, emphasizing that Portugal needs a more comprehensive economic strategy that includes investment, qualification, technology, and strengthening social dialogue. The socialist also warned that the discussion cannot be monothematic, that it is necessary to reconcile business flexibility with security for workers, and that the country needs "dramatically" a medium and long-term strategy.
