Secretary General of\r\nCGTP, Manuel Carvalho da Silva, said they had asked for an extension of the\r\nperiod to reduce the deficit to less than 3% at least until 2013, and expressed\r\nopposition to measures similar to those applied in other countries. The CGTP leader added\r\nthat his confederation had insisted on proposals that promote economic growth\r\nand avoid situations of social disruption, reaffirming its opinion that\r\n“austerity packages do not lead to economic growth.” Secretary\r\nGeneral of UGT, João Proença, declared that his confederation had advocated the\r\nimplementation of the tripartite agreement for competitiveness and employment\r\nsigned in March. UGT drew attention to the fact that the system of collective\r\nredundancy in Portugal is one of the most liberal in Europe. During the 1 May\r\ncelebrations, CGTP and UGT focused on the ongoing negotiations and once again\r\nhighlighted their concerns. During these celebrations CGTP called for a\r\nnational demonstration on 19 May 2011. This call resulted in two CGTP manifestations\r\non 19 May with mass participation, one in Lisbon with about 50,000 participants\r\nand one in Porto with 15,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">English:\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cspan class=\"Char\"> \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002F2011\u002F05\u002Farticles\u002Fpt1105019i.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002F2011\u002F05\u002Farticles\u002Fpt1105019i.htm\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">Portuguese: CGTP leaflet and\r\nfurther information\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
