The left bloc will present a legislative package to improve the career of the Armed Forces and expand their activities. “We are preparing legislative initiatives to improve the careers and salaries of military personnel,” he said. CM Fabian Figueiredo, BE’s parliamentary leader, explains that in practice it is necessary to “increase wages” because low wages lead to many people leaving. “You pay less than GNR and PSP, where salaries are already low,” he adds.
On the other hand, the deputy explains CM that the party wants to move on. “We will present initiatives for the necessary modernization of the Portuguese army so that it can guarantee its sovereign functions, as well as adapt the army” within the framework of civil protection. “We are talking about fires and floods, which have become worse in recent years,” he states, saying the military can also help “repair the devastation caused by extreme weather events.”
