For an immediate recognition of the State of Palestine and an end to Israel's crimes

In view of the government's announcement of contacts about a possible recognition of the State of Palestine, deferring a possible decision to September, the PCP reiterates that such a decision is urgent and should have already been implemented, as the PCP has repeatedly proposed in Parliament. The announcement that has now been made by the Prime Minister, is inseparable from the pressure of public opinion and the broad movement of solidarity with the Palestinian people in the face of the ongoing crimes perpetrated by the State of Israel.

On the ‘trade’ agreement between the US and the European Union

1. The US/EU agreement signed by Trump and Von der Leyen constitutes a deplorable act of surrender by the EU in the face of US impositions and interests. An agreement signed by the President of the European Commission that neglects the interests of EU countries and their peoples, particularly Portugal.

The PCP condemns the government's complicity in Israel's crimes

No words can express the horror and suffering that Israeli Zionism and US imperialism are inflicting on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and also in the occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, with the criminal complicity of the European Union. Day after day, the mainstream media show images of boundless violence and cruelty and a sinister accounting of the deliberate murder of populations, including the infamous imposition of starvation that is hitting babies and other children particularly hard.

Government propaganda doesn't erase the reality: life is difficult, and the country is hanging by a thread

Nós estamos a discutir o Estado da Nação, a discutir a vida das pessoas, a vida difícil, a realidade concreta e permita-me Sr. Presidente esta observação àqueles que estão a trabalhar a esta hora, a pôr o País a funcionar, a produzir, a criar a riqueza, a pôr a economia a funcionar com vidas difíceis terem de assistir a um triste espectáculo como aquele que assistimos aqui há pouco é tudo menos contribuir para resolver a vida das pessoas.

Thirty Priority Measures - Changing policies for a better life

10 February 2024

On last January 25, the PCP presented its electoral programme. A programme that is a commitment to the workers and the People where we identify problems, point out causes, signal objectives, guidelines and measures to respond to them. A programme that shows that there are solutions to the main national problems, that there are resources and means to implement them if that is the direction of the political options. As we stated then, the country needs a patriotic and left-wing policy, it needs solutions for a Portugal with a future.

17 February 2024

The dimension and urgency of the problems that the workers and people face cannot tolerate any postponement. It is not acceptable that the interests of banks and other economic groups jeopardise rights and living conditions. The impositions of the EU and the Euro cannot override the country's development.
