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 kind of participation, reinforcing his position against what he considers unproductive opposition.
