On the conclusions of the European Council meeting of March 19 - Complicity with the military aggression against Iran, inaction in the face of rising prices and cost of living, favouring the interests of multinational corporations
24 March 2026
The conclusions of the European Council meeting of March 19 reveal, once again, the profound contradiction between the proclaimed discourse and the effective practice of the European Union (EU), its alignment and complicity with the US, its disregard for the deteriorating living conditions of workers and peoples, and its policy choices in favour of the interests of economic and financial groups and multinational corporations.

Rally – 105th. Anniversary of the PCP Project. Struggle. Confidence
6 March 2026
Comrades and friends,
We are here to celebrate and mark the 105 years of the life of our Party, the PCP, a creation of the Portuguese workers, always connected to the masses and to life.
105 years of life and determined and confident struggle, rooted in the past, updating itself in the present and projected into the future.
A Party with a long history of intervention and struggle, with a vast and unparalleled history that blends with that of this People and this Country.
On the Party and the strengthening of its organisation and intervention – A stronger PCP. It is necessary! It is possible!

1. We are operating in an international situation in which capitalism reveals its true nature, boosts its violent imperialist action, poses threats and dangers, and this confirms the need for a new path of peace and social progress for Humanity. At the national level, we operate and fight in a context marked by intense class struggle, in an open conflict between those who seek to complete the counter-revolutionary process, in confrontation with the Constitution of the Republic, and the forces that resist it.

On the results of the second round of the Elections for President of the Republic
8 February 2026
The PCP salutes all those who exercised their right to vote today, giving expression to a significant turnout in the elections, and extends a word of solidarity to all those who did so in particularly difficult conditions due to the consequences of the storms.
A significant turnout that defeated André Ventura in the second round of the elections for President of the Republic, reflecting the Portuguese people's rejection of his candidacy and the reactionary and retrograde project he represents.
No to US aggression! Solidarity with Cuba!
30 January 2026
The PCP strongly denounces and condemns the escalation of the US aggression against Cuba, which constitutes an affront to the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
Another course for the country. Reject the Labour Package, exploitation and injustice
24 January 2026
Life remains difficult for most workers, for the youth and those who have worked all their lives, but the media and political landscape is dominated by the elections for President of the Republic.
It is impossible to look at the results of this first round without taking into account the continued promotion of reactionary forces and their demagogic actions, present in the succession of elections and beyond, and embodied this time in the candidacies of André Ventura, Cotrim de Figueiredo, Gouveia e Melo and Marques Mendes.
