The Portuguese Order of Psychologists (OPP) requested an urgent suspension of charges against psychologists working in schools this Friday. This request comes at a time when several professionals are receiving demands for salary repayments amounting to several thousand euros.

The affected psychologists are those covered by the Extraordinary Regularization Program for Precarious Links in Public Administration (PREVPAP). These professionals, after being hired to regularize their employment situation, now face repayment requests that create insecurity among them.

The OPP president emphasized that labor precariousness cannot be corrected with more insecurity, highlighting the need for financial security for the psychologists in question. This situation raises significant concerns about job stability for school psychology professionals.

Repayment requests are causing anxiety among professionals, as many were relying on these salaries for their financial sustainability. The OPP has been in dialogue with the relevant authorities to resolve the issue.

So far, there has been no update regarding the government's response or that of other entities involved in the matter, but the OPP is expecting a swift reply to suspend these charges.
