The Government is more interested in protecting profits than protecting people's lives

In a Country where propaganda clashes with the real difficulties of life of the majority, where the cost of living is rising and some are obtaining record profits, where wages and pensions are being stretched to make ends meet, where public services are being dismantled, at the outset with the National Health Service (NHS), where access to housing is denied and the present and future of new generations are being mortgaged, it is this Country that PSD, CDS, Chega, and Iniciativa Liberal are further submitting to the US and Israel and dragging Portugal into the war against Iran.

New Year's Message from Paulo Raimundo

29 December 2025

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 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.
