Dear guests!
Dear friends and comrades!

Warm greetings to all of you who are here with the strength of your presence. Greetings to all the builders who participated in the days of work with that unique militancy and generosity, to all the participants and visitors of our Avante! Festival. A especial greeting to the youth and the JCP, always with their massive presence, their indispensable contribution in raising this space of freedom and ensuring its exemplary functioning.

Articulating at every step with the relevant authorities and assessing the evolution of the epidemiological situation, the PCP will hold the “Avante!” Festival with the responsibility for which it is renowned, with an educational approach to the prevention and protection which continues to be necessary, and ensuring all the necessary sanitary measures.

The holding of the Avante! Festival is always, and this year in particular, an important political affirmation of the exercise of democratic rights and intervention in defence of the interests of workers and people.

We are once again in the critical period of forest fires. In the next two months, as the last few weeks have already signalled, we run the serious risk of seeing rural and forester owners losing parts of their farms, populations in distress seeing the fires approach, hundreds of fire-fighters and other civil protection operatives risking their life to fight fires and to protect people and property.
