The ASPP, the largest union within the PSP, is pushing for early negotiations with the newly appointed Minister of Internal Administration, Maria Lúcia Amaral, rather than waiting until September as initially proposed by the ministry. Following a preliminary meeting where PSP and GNR union representatives highlighted the urgency of resuming negotiations, the ASPP has reiterated its call for immediate action.
Key issues the ASPP aims to address this month include:
- Indexing the fixed component of SSRFS for 2026, currently set at a mere 2% for 2025.
- Amendments to the service evaluation ordinance, proposing a reduction from three to two years for salary level changes.
- Revisions to the paid services ordinance, aiming to enhance the dignity of such arrangements.
- Resolution of the legal void created by Article 155 of the EP, concerning the Coordinator Chief competition.
- Establishment of a remuneration index for professionals meeting legal criteria for salary level adjustments but lacking the corresponding position.
The ASPP argues that advancing these discussions now would not only manage expectations effectively but also signal a positive step towards addressing the immense workload and challenges faced by PSP officers. The union has once again highlighted the dire state of many police stations, describing them as "operating at their limit", with exhausted staff frequently forced to sacrifice their rest days and commanders struggling under unsustainable management pressures—a reality the minister has acknowledged.
