Respect for women's rights and equality are a prerequisite for a democratic society

7 March 2025

On the eve of International Women's Day, I would like to address a greeting to women, working women, working class women, intellectuals, all women, mothers, grandmothers, women who struggle every day for a better life and the implementation of their rights. History shows us that women are not passive subjects. They were and are the protagonists of many, many struggles for rights, equality and emancipation.

This is not the time for calculations, it is the time to stop the government and its policies

5 March 2025

Mr Chairman, Mr Prime Minister, Members of Parliament, With the authority and coherence of those who, from the outset, did not harbour expectations, denounced and fought the government's actions and refused any complicity with its decisions, including the State Budget, the PCP is here today presenting a motion of censure with the clear aim of defeating the government and its policies.

PCP tables motion of censure against the government and its policies

1 March 2025

Stop the deterioration of the national situation, for an alternative policy of progress and development 1. The announcement that the Prime Minister decided to make today, apart from a singular propaganda stunt, not only does not add anything to dispel or remedy the facts that remain unclear, but it also reaffirms the government's intention to pursue its agenda at the service of big capital, to attack public rights and services, to worsen exploitation and injustice.

This government is not in a position to solve the problems and is today the main factor for discrediting political life, and has to draw consequences

28 February 2025

A year after this government took office, what we are witnessing proves exactly what the PCP said a year ago, that this is a government at the service of the economic groups; a government that encourages promiscuity between the economic groups and the interests of the State; a government that encourages all this promiscuity and promotes a real conflict of interests between the economic groups and the interests of those who can't access the National Health Service, those who have difficulty accessing housing; those who have salaries that are too short for the long month they have to face

On President Trump's serious statements regarding Palestine

5 February 2025

The PCP strongly denounces and condemns the recent serious statements by US President Donald Trump regarding the situation in Palestine and the Middle East, which explicitly proclaim the expulsion of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and the occupation of this territory by the US.

Develop solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!

Strengthen solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!

28 January 2025

The PCP strongly condemns the Trump administration's unacceptable decision to re-include Cuba on the arbitrary US list of so-called “State Sponsors of Terrorism”. Cuba should never have been included on this illegitimate list, especially when it is the US that has for decades been promoting a terrorist policy against the Cuban people and their socialist revolution.

«No to war! No to NATO! For Peace! For a system of collective security!»

27 January 2025

The PCP repudiates the objectives of the visit to Portugal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, which is part of a process of pressure and blackmail to increase military spending and promote a warmongering drift, objectives that are contrary to Peace and Portugal's interests.
