Portugal’s National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC) stated today that the strike by special forces personnel is not affecting operational activity. This assertion follows criticism from the union representing the striking workers. The union has challenged the ANEPC’s claim, suggesting a lack of adequate response from the authority. ANEPC maintains that essential services are being maintained despite the industrial action. The specific nature of the union’s criticism and details of the strike's impact remain unclear, but the two sides present contrasting perspectives. The situation highlights potential tensions between the authority and its workforce regarding resource allocation and operational impact during labor disputes.
