Voluntariado: Organizações pedem revisão da lei e «têm um Governo que se identifica» com as suas causas

In brief

Portuguese volunteering organizations are calling for a review of the country's volunteering law, arguing that the current legislation no longer reflects modern reality. During a debate on revising the law, Miguel Salgado Lisboa, vice president of the Portuguese Confederation of Volunteering, stated that the existing law is 27 years old and outdated.

The Secretary of State Adjunto e do Trabalho de Portugal participated in the debate, noting that the government identifies with the causes supported by these associations and organizations.
