Defend peace, stop the escalation of confrontation
24 February 2022
Our first words are to express deep concern about developments in the escalation of political, economic and military confrontation and the serious risks that such confrontation involves.
War is the greatest danger humanity faces and Europe has one of the most painful experiences of what it can mean.
War is not a solution to any problem and every effort must be made to avoid it.

On the electoral results for the Assembly of the Republic
30 January 2022
1. The CDU, PCP and PEV [coalition] have had a constant intervention which, not disregarding any possibility of defending, restoring and winning rights, prevented regressions and scored advances that had a positive impact on the lives of millions of people. The evolution in the country’s situation imposed that solutions be sought for the national problems, for the lives of the Portuguese workers and people. But instead the PS, striving for an absolute majority, in convergence with the President of the Republic, brought about the convening of early elections.

«It is a great demonstration in an important day of struggle for the valorization of work and workers, particularly the valorization of wages as a fundamental issue, as a national emergency, along with other rights that have been called into question and that workers, using that experience and that famous phrase that "the rights are defended by exercising themselves", here they are exercising that right to proclaim the national demand for the valorization of wages, regulation of hours, the valorization of collective bargaining agreements.
