4 September 2020
Welcome to Atalaia/Quinta do Cabo.
Greetings to the neighbours of the Festival, the youth, the democrats and friends of the Avante! Festival.
Why we hold the «Avante!» Festival
31 August 2020
Articulating at every step with the relevant authorities and assessing the evolution of the epidemiological situation, the PCP will hold the “Avante!” Festival with the responsibility for which it is renowned, with an educational approach to the prevention and protection which continues to be necessary, and ensuring all the necessary sanitary measures.
Defend democracy and the rights of the workers and people – Hold the “Avante!” Festival in safety
31 August 2020
The holding of the Avante! Festival has been the cloak for a gigantic reactionary operation that, more than the Festival itself, aims to attack the PCP and above all to pave the way for limiting the exercise of the rights and freedoms of the workers and people, namely the right to resist the liquidation of their rights, as seen with the campaign against this year’s May Day.
Avante! Festival: Guarantees as always, enhanced guarantees. Tranquillity, security and liberty
14 August 2020
The holding of the Avante! Festival is always, and this year in particular, an important political affirmation of the exercise of democratic rights and intervention in defence of the interests of workers and people.
On the European Council conclusions
21 July 2020
1. More than the deep fractures and contradictions that run through the European Union, the European Council meeting highlighted the very nature of an integration process that intrinsically generates inequalities, divergences and asymmetries, in which capitalist competition in the single market prevails over any prospect of solidarity between States, which in practice is confirmed to be non-existent.
Forest fires and the defence of the forest
11 July 2020
We are once again in the critical period of forest fires. In the next two months, as the last few weeks have already signalled, we run the serious risk of seeing rural and forester owners losing parts of their farms, populations in distress seeing the fires approach, hundreds of fire-fighters and other civil protection operatives risking their life to fight fires and to protect people and property.
For a Public Administration at the service of the people and the country
10 July 2020
If there is evidence that the Covid -19 epidemic outbreak brought to light it was the importance of public services and their workers.
«Against Israel's annexation of Palestinian territories - For the defence of the rights of the Palestinian people»
9 July 2020
The Government of Israel has announced its intention to promote, as of July 1st., the annexation of about 30% of the territory of the West Bank, illegally occupied since 1967. Such a decision violates the United Nations Charter which, in its Article 2 establishes the principle of the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force. Furthermore, it defies the international consensus established on the resolution of the Palestinian issue.
«Response to the plan of the annexation of territories in Palestine»
9 July 2020
The recently inaugurated Israeli government has in its programme a plan to annex 30% of the territory on the West Bank of the Jordan in Palestine, a plan inseparable from the "agreement of the century", orchestrated between the Zionist government and the Trump administration.
«Portugal needs to set in motion a real programme of development for the country»
