Leitão Amaro states that unlike UGT there are those who are "against everything"

Correio da Manhã14 September 2026 at 13:59

Leitão Amaro, a minister in Portugal, stated that, unlike UGT (União Geral de Trabalhadores), there are other entities that are completely against everything. The official criticized those who do not intend to participate in any change, suggesting that there are those who position themselves in an exclusively negative manner regarding transformation proposals. This statement comes as a response or contrast to UGT's stance, which apparently demonstrated some openness or agreement with the government's initiatives. The minister emphasized the difference between those willing to collaborate and those who reject any type of participation, reinforcing his position against what he considers an unproductive opposition.

Why this matters

The article is relevant for Portuguese readers because it shows the government's position in relation to unions and the opposition, at a time when the Executive is seeking to implement reforms. The direct criticisms of UGT indicate tensions in labor relations that may affect workers and employers throughout the country.
