The PS and its Green Taxation hide the accountability of capitalism on environmental degradation

A fraternal greeting from the leadership of our Party to the JCP, to the young communists and, through you, to the Portuguese youth. A greeting that is all the more deserved as JCP, in the scope of its diversified activity in defence of the rights, interests and aspirations of the youth, has never failed to pay attention to and follow the struggle in defence of a healthy and ecologically balanced environment, embracing a wide range of initiatives and ensuring participation in the youth dynamics of environmental protection under the motto “Capitalism is not green”.

«What is required is to respond to problems and a demand for a better life!»

A warm greeting from our Party’s rally to the communists of the Évora district and, through you, to all the people of Évora, people of struggle and work, who wrote many of its noblest pages in our history. Here we are, in Évora, city of April, a World Heritage Site, by the hand and work of elected members of the PCP and CDU, a city symbol of municipal management based on Work, Honesty and Competence, whose index of development and response to citizens' needs make us proud.

On the meeting of the Central Committee of the PCP on October 24, 2021

The country's situation and the problems it faces as a result of decades of right-wing policies and which the epidemic has worsened, demand a response and a solution that cannot be postponed. The essential question that is placed is to open perspectives for their overcoming. This is where the energies and priorities of national policy must be focused. It is with this objective that the PCP has intervened.

Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of October 24, 2021

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on October 24, 2021, analysed the situation of the country and the necessary response to the problems. The country demands solutions 1. The country is faced with the consequences of decades of right-wing policies, which deepened injustices, inequalities and exploitation, as well as structural deficits in the productive, technological, energy and demographic fields.

Crisis is not having a salary or pension, housing or conditions to raise children

Please allow me to take advantage of this meeting following the elections to welcome the valuable contribution of our candidates, militants and activists of the political forces that make up our Broad United Democratic Coalition (CDU) and the many democrats without party affiliation who, together, built the dynamic election campaign of the CDU!

We need measures to counter increases in fuel price

The successive increases in fuel prices are a matter of great concern for most of the Portuguese and, due to the impacts they have on the entire economy, call into question the need for recovery considering the situation that the country is still facing. The PCP considers it is essential to take urgent measures to counter these price increases, combining the fight against price speculation with fiscal measures.

«We could ask: how do the answers that the workers and the people demand contribute to the alleged crisis?»

Greetings to all of you and through you to the workers and people of Porto and this whole Region. Greetings also and our appreciation to all our friends of the Ecologist Party «The Greens», of the Democratic Intervention, to the thousands of independents and activists of the CDU who were side by side with us in the recent electoral combat for Local Government which we fought together, creating a great campaign of contact with the populations.

A global response to national problems and the State Budget proposal for 2022

The situation and dimension of the national problems require solutions to face them. Other options and an alternative path are needed that contemplate the issues that mark the lives of the workers, the people and the country. The debate on the State Budget must be part of this global response, which is as necessary as it is pressing. The Budget has its own value, but it is – it must be – an expression and translation of these options.
