Leitão Amaro says Lusíadas workers "do not want" to go back on governance

Público14 September 2026 at 12:38

The Minister of the Presidency, Leitão Amaro, stated that Lusíadas workers do not want to go back on the governance of the institution. The statement was made in the context of a debate about the changes implemented in the management of the organization.

Leitão Amaro rhetorically posed the question of whether workers wish to return to the previous period, when the company was considerably smaller and did not have a seat on an advisory council.

The minister's intervention comes within the framework of a defense of the current governance practices implemented, suggesting that the changes have brought concrete benefits to workers, namely in terms of representation and participation in decisions.

O executivo强调了工人对当前治理结构的认可,暗示这些改进为组织带来了积极影响。

Why this matters

The workers and readers of Lusíadas are directly affected by this discussion about the news agency's governance model. This debate arises in the context of tensions between the government and the company's workers over its management structure and transparency.
