A warm welcome to everyone attending this session, where we mark the 112th. anniversary of the birth of comrade Álvaro Cunhal. This unique figure in contemporary Portugal, a fighter for freedom and democracy and a beacon in the struggle for social and human emancipation in our Country and around the world. Álvaro Cunhal dedicated his entire life, as leader of the PCP and anti-fascist fighter, to the cause of the workers, his people and his Country.

National March of CGTP-IN against the Labour Package

11 November 2025

The PCP's opposition to this government bill is already well known, but how did you view the Prime Minister's statement about the possibility of a general strike, calling on trade unions to act responsibly and saying that workers' interests should not be captured by party interests?

PCP presents last package of proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026

7 November 2025

On this last day for submitting proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026, there is a preliminary issue that needs to be addressed, lest it be forgotten once again. The State Budget for 2026 cannot ignore the tragedy of the forest fires that ravaged the country this summer. The diagnosis has been made, and what needs to be done to prevent and combat fires has been clearly identified. This requires investment in forests that cannot continue to be postponed as it has been until now.

PCP presents 15 proposals for fiscal justice and the defence of national interests

5 November 2025

The Country has the means and resources that are essential to strengthen public services. Fiscal justice is therefore necessary to reduce taxes on low and middle incomes and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and tax the profits of large economic groups and multinationals. A policy is needed to tackle the scandalous favouritism shown to economic groups. In the scope of the discussion of the State Budget for 2026, the PCP today submitted 15 proposals that demonstrate that fiscal justice and combating tax evasion are possible.

1. Yesterday, searches were carried out by the Judicial Police and the Public Prosecutor's Office involving Novo Banco, KPMG and other entities related to the management of that institution's assets, on the very same day that the Government and the Resolution Fund signed the process for the sale of Novo Banco to the buyer BPCE.

PCP presents initial proposals for the 2026 State Budget

5 November 2025

Following the discussion and vote on the 2026 State Budget, that revealed the consequences of the political choices contained therein, which will lead to greater inequality and injustice, with the benefits granted to big capital through IRC corporate income tax cuts, tax benefits, public-private partnerships and large transfers of public resources, which contrast with a policy of low wages and pensions and attacks on public services and on the social functions of the State.

End the criminal US blockade against Cuba

5 November 2025

For the 33rd. time, the overwhelming majority of countries present at the United Nations General Assembly took a stand to end the blockade imposed by the US on Cuba. This result, despite the unacceptable falsehoods and pressure exerted by the US on various countries to coerce them into changing their vote, once again constituted an expressive condemnation of the US's actions towards Cuba in the framework of the UN.

This government's Budget and policies must be defeated

28 October 2025

Mr President, honourable Members, Mr. Prime Minister, we leave this debate with the certainty that your budget and your policy must be defeated. The more your propaganda and your policies advance, the more will remain to be recovered in the lives of those who work, those who have worked their entire lives, and the youth.

End the unacceptable blackmails, provocations and threats by the US against Venezuela and other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean

28 October 2025

The US has been stepping up its interference, blackmail and intimidation actions against various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua and Venezuela. In this context, the deployment of significant US offensive military means near the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the recurring provocative actions carried out by the US in the Caribbean Sea represent a serious threat to the sovereignty and rights of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples and to peace and security in the region.

The State Budget is bad because of what it contains and because it is an instrument of a disastrous policy for those who live and work here.

27 October 2025

Mr President, honourable Members, Mr. Prime Minister, we are discussing a State Budget that is a piece of a disastrous policy based on propaganda and serving a minority that lives off the hard life of the majority of the people. A budget at the behest of Brussels, of tax breaks, of diverting resources from the National Health Service to groups in the business of disease, of transfers to new Public-Private Partnerships and of support that is never lacking for the golden non-habitual residents.
