PS Secretary General Pedro Nuno Santos is ready to take a “step forward” “as soon as possible” in terms of increasing the value of public administration. The announcement came after a meeting of the National Socialist Commission, which took place in Viseu, and served as pressure on future government leader Luis Montenegro to speed up the improvement of wage conditions for various professional groups in the state.
“If there is a consensus among virtually all parties standing in the elections about the need to value different professional groups in public administration, then this needs to be done as soon as possible. There is no reason for a delay,” stressed Pedro Nuno Santos, insisting that “at the moment there is an economic and financial situation that allows us to take a step forward, without political calculations.”
At stake are teachers, doctors and nurses, as well as security forces and judicial officials who all parties assumed during the election campaign would be available to meet their demands for salary and professional advancement.
The meeting of the PS National Commission was called by party president Carlos Cesar two weeks after legislative elections and as the Socialists prepare to confront the government of Luis Montenegro, which takes office on April 2.
