Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of October 14, 2025

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on October 14, 2025, analysed the results of the local elections, addressed various aspects of the national and international situation and the elections for President of the Republic. It also decided on lines of action for the intervention and strengthening of the Party. I - Local elections

On the results of the local government elections of October 12, 2025

In very demanding conditions, the results have confirmed the CDU as an important force in local government. The results show a decrease in the CDU’s electoral expression – whether in terms of its votes and mandates, or in terms of the municipalities where it is the majority force. This result does not reflect the recognized legacy of work and participation of its members elected to local government bodies, and will have a negative influence on the conditions that could ensure an administration corresponding to the interests of the populations.

Continue the Solidarity with the Palestinian People! For a Permanent Ceasefire! For an End to the Genocide! For a Sovereign and Independent Palestine!

After two years of genocide of the Palestinian people, perpetrated by Israel, the understanding that has now been announced must represent a step towards ensuring a permanent ceasefire, an end to the genocide, full access to humanitarian aid, the full withdrawal of the Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip and an end to its attacks in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem.

The European Commission deserves to be censured! For its complicity in the genocide in Palestine! For the major economic interests that its policy serves! For the arms race it promotes!

As we pointed out when the motion of censure was voted last July, there is no lack of valid reasons to censure the European Commission – a censure that reality continues to demand.

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.
