The leader of the Chega party claims the Minister of Labour indicated a possible reduction in the retirement age for shift workers. Ventura alleges that Prime Minister António Costa subsequently contradicted Minister Maria do Rosário Palma Ramalho’s suggestion. The potential change would address the specific demands of those employed in rotating shift schedules. Ventura stated the Prime Minister “disauthorized” the Minister’s consideration of the policy. No official confirmation from the Prime Minister’s office or the Ministry of Labour has been released regarding this alleged disagreement. The issue centers on adjusting retirement ages to reflect the physical demands of non-traditional work patterns. Further details regarding the potential policy shift and the reported conflict remain unclear.
