Rally at the 49th. Avante! Festival

To all the visitors, to those who never miss a Festival, to the many who have come for the first time, to those who have returned, welcome. A big greeting to each and every one of you, workers in this collective construction that is the Avante! Festival. Allow me to greet the artists, the sportspeople, all those who make the Festival happen and keep it running. A special greeting to the youth and the Portuguese Communist Youth, who are the living expression of this Festival that they have made their own.

On the worsening situation in Palestine and in the Middle East

The PCP strongly condemns Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people, including its stated goal of colonising the Gaza Strip, and calls on the Portuguese Government to take a clear stance of condemnation of this new escalation and to develop effective initiatives aimed at putting an immediate end to the genocide of the Palestinian people.

PCP denounces provocative and militaristic escalation by the US in Latin America

The PCP denounces and repudiates the provocative and aggressive actions by the Trump Administration currently underway in Latin America, namely in the Caribbean Sea, falsely invoking the fight against drug trafficking, and warns of the serious threat posed by the growth of militarism and interventionism by US imperialism to the sovereignty and rights of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples and to peace and security in the region.

No to the labour package: confront and defeat the attack on workers

The PSD/CDS government, with the support of CH and IL and made viable by the PS, is pursuing a policy at the service of big capital, heightening exploitation, dismantling public services, attacking the democratic system and jeopardising national sovereignty. The government has announced a labour package that is a declaration of war on workers. The government, those who favour its policies and big capital are there with their goals, which have to be confronted and can be defeated.

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.

National Demonstration of Young Workers

There are many reasons for the Portuguese youth to fight for an alternative policy that responds to their problems

27 March 2024

Today's demonstration and the mobilisation that took place, both in Lisbon and Porto, and which we welcome, shows that young workers are not waiting for either the governments or the majorities in the Assembly of the Republic to fight for their rights, to demand improvements in their working conditions, their living conditions and their future prospects.

Rally «Force of Abril. The usual courage!» in Vila Nova de Gaia

We are the force of the workers and the people, and we are their voice in the European Parliament

25 March 2024

A salute to your militancy and joy. A special salute to the JCP and through you to all students, on this day which marks National Student Day. A salute to all of you for your effort, commitment and dedication, without asking for anything in return, to the cause of the workers and the people. This is how we are and this is how we fought an election campaign, of great importance and significance, and whose results fell short of expectations.

Rally «Strength of April. The usual courage!»

With our usual courage, we will fight the struggles that lie ahead

16 March 2024

A salute to all of you, a salute for your militancy, for your effort, a salute for the commitment and dedication of this magnificent party collective to the cause of the workers and our people. A special salute to the youth and JCP for the creativity and combativeness they put into the election campaign we carried out. A campaign of great importance and meaning and whose results do not portray the effort and dynamics created. The concerns and discontent that we all feel is fair and understandable.

PCP stands in solidarity with Cuba

26 March 2024

The Portuguese Communist Party expresses its unwavering solidarity with Cuba, the Cuban people, its Government and its Revolution, which are the target of an unacceptable and criminal policy of interference, destabilisation and blockade by North American imperialism. Cuba faces a demanding and complex economic situation, and its difficult consequences, which is inseparable from more than six decades of imposition of an economic, commercial and financial blockade by the US, the application of which was severely worsened during the period of the pandemic.
