The Left Bloc coordinator, who was speaking during a lunch with militants in Viana do Castelo, said that the project, called Vida Boa, will be debated in the context of a potestative agenda scheduled for Wednesday.
"Those who love a country, want the good of its people, without looking at who they are. It is this vision of the country that the Left Bloc does not give up. Why can't we work four days a week, to have time for our children, for leisure? (...) Why does life have to be consumed working so as not to leave the minimum wage or a wage that does not pay for the house", she asked.
For Mariana Mortágua, "a good life is guaranteeing the replacement of the holidays taken by the 'troika'. A good life is guaranteeing five more days of leave to those who have children, without any justification".
"We know that having children in our care means more time that has to be dedicated to the family and this responsibility does not always fall on women. It is everyone's responsibility, it is society's responsibility", she stressed.
