Here we are determined and confident in the project we have and want to build.
A construction that is done every day on the most diverse fronts but which is first and foremost based in companies and workplaces.
With the workers and for the workers, this is our commitment that has lasted for one hundred and one years.
We are well aware of the difficulties because we feel them just like all other workers. We know the problems, not because of what they tell us, but because we are there, we feel them and we face them.
«A society that values the right to be a child, to grow up healthy and happy, has its eyes on the future and on a humanist and sovereign development project»
6 March 2022
The greatest wealth of a country is its people. An educated and cultured people, solidary and sovereign, respected and with rights, is the decisive force to build a democratic and developed country.
Ensuring integral development for children, adolescents and young people is essential for a country that wants to have a future. Ensuring that they grow up healthy and happy, with curiosity and respect for the world around them, is everyone's right, regardless of their circumstances, but it is also a factor of development and emancipation for all.

Defend peace, stop the escalation of confrontation
24 February 2022
Our first words are to express deep concern about developments in the escalation of political, economic and military confrontation and the serious risks that such confrontation involves.
War is the greatest danger humanity faces and Europe has one of the most painful experiences of what it can mean.
War is not a solution to any problem and every effort must be made to avoid it.

On the electoral results for the Assembly of the Republic
30 January 2022
1. The CDU, PCP and PEV [coalition] have had a constant intervention which, not disregarding any possibility of defending, restoring and winning rights, prevented regressions and scored advances that had a positive impact on the lives of millions of people. The evolution in the country’s situation imposed that solutions be sought for the national problems, for the lives of the Portuguese workers and people. But instead the PS, striving for an absolute majority, in convergence with the President of the Republic, brought about the convening of early elections.
