The living conditions of vast sectors of the population continue to deteriorate. Public Services, particularly the National Health Service, but also Public Schools, are deteriorating. There is a clear lack of answers in housing or in implementing the right to public nurseries and kindergartens.

The future government's plans include an onslaught on public and universal Social Security, attacks on workers' rights, greater promiscuity between economic interests and government choices and, in particular, threats to the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic and to the democratic regime.

This is not the time to lie in wait. This is the time to act and to confront the right-wing projects with courage. With this in mind, the PCP has decided to call the March “Fulfil the Constitution. Raise wages and pensions, for a better life”, to be held on June 26.

A March that, by placing at the centre of its demands the fulfilment of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic with the rights it enshrines, making life better for everyone, will fight for what matters in everyone's life - wages, pensions, housing, healthcare, children's rights, peace.

It is a March that calls on all those affected by right-wing policies, workers who are robbed of the wealth they produce, pensioners who are denied decent pensions, youth seeking rights and a perspective on life, NHS users who do not get the response they are entitled to, women who refuse a regression on legislation and on life, all those who aspire to a free life based on the values of April.

A March which will take place in Lisbon, from the Assembly of the Republic/S. Bento to Cais do Sodré/Corpo Santo, and in Porto, from Batalha Square to Via Catarina, during which, in Lisbon, thousands of signatures from the petition is being signed all over the Country will be handed over to the Prime Minister.

A March of struggle and resistance, but also of freedom and democracy, of confronting reactionary and anti-democratic projects, of action and confidence in the future, which calls on all those who are rightly worried about the situation, on all those who aspire to a better life, on all democrats and patriots, to whom the PCP launches the challenge to join in, to converge on these objectives by taking part in this March organised by the PCP, but open to all.
