Another course for the country. Reject the Labour Package, exploitation and injustice

24 January 2026

Life remains difficult for most workers, for the youth and those who have worked all their lives, but the media and political landscape is dominated by the elections for President of the Republic. It is impossible to look at the results of this first round without taking into account the continued promotion of reactionary forces and their demagogic actions, present in the succession of elections and beyond, and embodied this time in the candidacies of André Ventura, Cotrim de Figueiredo, Gouveia e Melo and Marques Mendes.

New Year's Message from Paulo Raimundo

29 December 2025

Confidence and hope. 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. It is true that the month is too long for the wages to last. It is true that we face the drama of access to housing, access to healthcare, and a shortage of teachers. 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.
