The National Trade Union Coordination Centre has announced that it will launch a series of protests demanding the resignations of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe on July 18.
Today, the Convenor of the Centre, Wasantha Samarasinghe, announced to the media that the protest will begin in front of the Fort train station on Monday (18).
He stated that the National Trade Union Coordination Centre, which represents over one thousand trade unions in the public and private sectors, will participate in the demonstration alongside the general public.
