The Association of Professional Guard (APG / GNR) returned Thursday to accuse the government of giving in to pressure from lobbying military, the lack of approval of the professional status of the National Guard.

 
 

Speaking to Lusa, the president of the APG / GNR, César Nogueira, said the government “did not” approve the statute because “bowed to pressure from lobbying military,” the army generals, who pointed out, to progress in their careers, they have to pay a service fee in GNR.

 
 

“Within six years we could have officers to command the GNR, but the generals do not want it,” he said.

César Monteiro regretted that the Government “has pushed” the GNR’s status by the end of the legislature and have not been approved, although the project outlined diploma be agreed by the unions.

 
 

Although “not be the ideal status,” the document stipulated a reference work hours – 40 hours per week – and provided greater autonomy from the GNR against the Army, said the official, adding that, in practice, the professional status current Republican National Guard is a “subestatuto the status of the armed forces”.

 
 

The APG / GNR, which represents more than a third of the corporation’s actual military, meets on Friday to decide possible new forms of struggle.

 
 

The union structure is one of four representing the GNR who scheduled several protest actions against the lack of approval of the statute, including a demonstration to the last day of the election campaign of the laws, to October 02.

 
 

The four structures that will need to meet again next week, on a date to announce for possible new joint actions consult each, promised on Monday carry out several protests in various times and places during the election campaign, including in near sites of political events which is the coalition that supports the government (PSD / CDS-PP).

 
 

Trade unions have called on the military to choose, whenever possible, by prevention and education, which implies spending less fines.
