Portuguese Communist Party

1. The PCP repudiates and strongly condemns the statement by the US Secretary of State considering “legal” Israel's colonisation of the illegally occupied Palestinian territories in 1967.

This was declared yesterday, a few days after yet another criminal Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, which killed 34 Palestinians and injured more than a hundred. This statement is an insult to the martyred Palestinian people and an affront to International Law and the principles of the United Nations Charter.

PCP saluted the Communist Party of Argentina on their victory as members of the electoral coalition Everyone’s Front (Frente de Todos), on October 27th, returning hope to the Argentinian workers and people, victims of violent neoliberal practices, brutal social regression and pillage, imposed over the last four years by President Macri and the IMF.

Jerónimo de Sousa, General Secretary of the PCP, sent a greeting to Filipe Nyusi, President of FRELIMO and President of the Republic of Mozambique, expressing the congratulations of the Portuguese Communists on FRELOMO’s victory and his re-election as President of Mozambique in last October 14 elections.

Following the news of the severe escalating repression that has taken place in recent days in Chile, aimed against the widespread and legitimate mobilisation of the Chilean workers and people, figfting antisocial measures and antinational policies, at the service of monopolies, by president Pinera’s government, the PCP addressed a message of solidarity to the Chilean Communist Party.
