SINALPOL unanimously approved the rejection of all guardianship proposals. THEbelieve that Maria Lúcia Amaral is politically weakened and has no capacity to solve problems. The union also warns that if the situation continues, demonstrations will return to the streets.
O This Thursday, he asked for the resignation of the Minister of Internal Administration and unanimously approved in a general assembly the rejection of all the supervisory proposals.
In a statement sent to newsrooms, SINAPOL considers that “the proposals and order of priorities” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are marked “by successive dilatory vicissitudes” and which reveal “lack of real commitment”.
At stake is one of the sector’s biggest demands: “The necessary and immediate professional and salary development, which can only be achieved through the urgent review of the PSP Professional Statute”.
The union warns that if the Government does not immediately review negotiating priorities relating to the public security sector, “protests of the same or even greater size than those that occurred between November 2023 and March 2024 could be quickly replicated”.
“SINAPOL understands that the only way to avoid the repetition of massive protests across the country is to dismiss the current minister and appoint a new political leader for the Ministry of Internal Administration, as it has become evident to the police profession that the current Minister of Internal Administration does not meet the necessary political or institutional conditions to continue to supervise”, the statement reads.
The union therefore considers that the prime minister will have to “to choose” between keep “a weakened minister, without political weight and clearly incapable of ensuring the stability and motivation of the security forces, as well as now becoming evidently incapable of negotiating with the unions and thus risking a scenario of strong public protest, demonstrations and surgical protests” or else dismiss the Minister of Internal Administration, Maria Lúcia Amaral.
