The Minister of Internal Administration will present this Thursday to the PSP unions and GNR socio-professional associations the proposal to grant a subsidy to members of the security forces.

The proposal will be presented, in separate meetings, to the four socio-professional associations of the National Republican Guard and the six unions of the Public Security Police, which demand a mission supplement identical to that which the previous socialist Government attributed to the Judiciary Police.

In the last meeting held with these structures, on April 22, Margarida Blasco announced the granting of a subsidy to members of the security forces, but did not clarify whether it would be a risk subsidy or a mission supplement, nor what amount and how will be awarded, referring to the proposal that will be presented this Thursday.

At the end of this meeting, the socio-professional associations of the GNR and PSP unions left with some hope and expectation, taking into account that for the first time the minister assumed “as a top priority” the attribution of a mission supplement.

The first meeting this Thursday takes place at 3pm with the Association of Guard Professionals (APG/GNR), National Association of Guard Sergeants (ANSG), Independent Professional Partner Association of the Guard (ASPIG), National Autonomous Association of the Guard (ANAG ) and National Association of Guard Officers (ANOG).

A meeting is scheduled for 5pm with the Police Professionals’ Union Association, Independent Police Officers’ Union, Police Professionals’ Union, National Union of Chiefs’ Careers, National Union of Police Officers and National Police Union.
