Comply with the Constitution. Raise wages and pensions, for a better life
26 June 2025
A warm welcome to all those present at this great initiative.
“Comply with the Constitution, raise wages and pensions, for a better life”, this is the path we propose, and which is necessary to serve what matters and what matters is the life of those who work, those who have worked a lifetime and the youth.
The march that we are holding here in Lisbon, but also at the same time in Porto, is an important moment of resistance, of affirmation of freedom and democracy, but also of hope and affirmation of the alternative that the Country needs.

It is forty years since the signing of the Treaty of Accession of Portugal to the European Economic Community, in 1985.

In a democracy, the investiture of the Assembly of the Republic is an important moment and one that cannot ignore life out there
3 June 2025
Greetings Mr. President. The duties you are assuming once again are of enormous importance to the proper functioning of the Assembly of the Republic, as a sovereign body that must focus its attention on what really matters to the people, responding to their wishes and aspirations, for a Country of development and progress. There can be no room for offence, insult, discrimination or hate.
We will intervene as always, openly, honestly and seriously at institutional level and in the political debate. With firmness and combativeness in the confrontation between political projects.

This decision paves the way for the continuation of a policy directed against the interests of the workers and the people, aligned with the agenda of the economic groups and multinationals, aimed at exacerbating the attack on social, political and democratic rights and jeopardising national interests and sovereignty.
