For Peace, for a collective security system! No to NATO!

8 April 2024

75 years have passed since the founding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). History and the current international situation attest to the falsehood of NATO's proclamations as a so-called defensive organisation, circumscribed to the North Atlantic area, promoting Peace and defending human rights and international law.

Demonstration of solidarity with the Palestinian people

It's been 6 months of genocide. The government must side with the Palestinian people and demand an immediate ceasefire and recognise the Palestinian State

6 April 2024

Peace needs more than these gestures, but these gestures are fundamental. This is yet another action among the hundreds of actions that have been carried out in the country so far. We cannot fail to take into account that tomorrow marks six months of an ongoing massacre, of an ongoing genocide. Six months, it seems like 40 years, but it’s been six months of death, massacre, genocide that has to stop.

The CDU stands, clearly, for national sovereignty and independence, for the right of the people to decide their path

4 April 2024

A greeting to everyone present, to our allies from PEV and ID and to the many who have no party affiliation and find their space for construction and unity in the CDU. On June 9, the Portuguese people will once again be called to the polls to elect 21 MPs to a European Parliament, which actually operates in Brussels/Strasbourg, but the impacts of whose decisions are reflected in the everyday lives of those who live and work here. If it is done there, it is here that it is paid, and that is also at stake in these elections.

About the debate on Mandatory Military Service

2 April 2024

The ongoing debate about a possible reintroduction of Mandatory Military Service (MMS) now arises, at the hands of those who were responsible for its end, associated with the war, when what is necessary is to uphold Peace efforts and counter the militarist drift to which they want to associate our Country. What is needed is Armed Forces at the service of Peace and within the framework of their constitutional missions, which requires the total rejection of their subordination to the warmongering strategies of NATO or the militarisation projects of the European Union.
