End US aggression! Solidarity with Bolivarian Venezuela!

The PCP condemns the unacceptable aims of the Trump Administration to impose a puppet government in Venezuela, which would guarantee the appropriation by US oil multinationals of resources belonging to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, to the Venezuelan people. The PCP denounces and condemns the serious threats made by the US against several Latin American and Caribbean countries, such as Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia and Mexico, and reiterates that these also constitute a threat to all the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the entire world.

End US military aggression against Venezuela – For Peace in Latin America and the Caribbean

The PCP strongly condemns the military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife by the US, which constitutes a very serious violation of international law. The PCP calls for an end to the military aggression and the immediate release of the President of Venezuela and other Venezuelan citizens by the US.

New Year's Message from Paulo Raimundo

Confidence and hope. These are the words I address to all of you, to all those who live here, to all those who work here, and to all those who went out all over the world in search of the better life that Portugal denied them. It is true. It is true that the month is too long for the wages to last. It is true that we face the drama of access to housing, access to healthcare, and a shortage of teachers. It is true that there is a lack of nurseries, care homes, low pensions and retirement benefits, and that often only overtime and double jobs make it possible to get by.

The European Union between disdain for the problems of the people, the arms race business and the instigation of war

On the conclusions of the European Council meeting of December 18 and 19, 2025 The European Council meeting held on December 18 and 19 was marked by the European Union's complete lack of concern for the economic and social problems affecting the lives of workers and peoples, by its insistence on a policy of confrontation, the arms trade and the prolongation of the war in Ukraine, and by its complicity with Israel's genocidal and colonial policy.

General Strike, December 11, 2025: a rejection of the Labour Package and a great assertion of the workers’ strength

11 December 2025

The great and expressive scale of today’s General Strike is an enormous statement of the workers’ strength and unity, and a powerful expression of rejection of a labour package [of laws] at the service of capital, which was put forth by the PSD/CDS Government and which is supported by Chega and Inicativa Liberal [parties].

Raise National Minimum Wage to €1050 already in January!

10 December 2025

When everybody swears eternal love for wage increases, the PCP once again provides the opportunity for the Assembly of the Republic to decide to increase the national minimum wage to €1050 as early as January, thereby stimulating a general increase in wages and the valorisation of the careers and professions of all workers. Those who say ‘wages yes, but not now’ will come up with the old refrain: companies can't cope, we need to create wealth and then distribute it, productivity has to increase, and so on...

Workers are not numbers and they are not parts; they are the ones who produce wealth and should be valued

5 December 2025

Mr. Prime Minister, a preliminary note: MP Mr. Hugo Soares kindly brought up the issues surrounding the labour package but managed to spend eight minutes talking about the labour package without mentioning a single measure contained in it. It should also be noted that CHEGA and Iniciativa Liberal tried to sidestep this issue, but Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to ask three specific questions.

Government diverts public resources to real estate speculation, driving up prices and increasing housing precariousness

4 December 2025

1. The changes in the fiscal field that the PSD/CDS Government intends to promote with the request for legislative authorisation submitted yesterday to the Assembly of the Republic constitute an unacceptable choice in favour of real estate speculation and fiscal injustice. The diversion of public resources to real estate funds, banks and large real estate owners is at the heart of this tax package, which goes even further than what was announced in September. 2. Among other serious aspects, the following stand out:
