Following the new attempt to ban the Communist Party of Poland, through a motion presented by the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, to the Constitutional Court, the PCP sent a letter to the Embassy of Poland in Portugal expressing its profound indignation and repudiation of this unacceptable initiative.

The adoption of this initiative will represent a serious attack on democratic rights and freedoms in Poland, based on an unacceptable and dangerous operation of historical revisionism, which aims to criminalise the communist ideal and ban the actions of Polish communists.

This renewed attempt to ban the Communist Party of Poland through the courts is taking place in a context of the rise of retrograde forces, of a xenophobic nature, with fascist aims, which is a cause of deep concern for the communists and all those who fought for many decades against the fascist dictatorship in Portugal.

Reiterating, in the letter delivered, its solidarity with the Communist Party of Poland and other Polish democrats and urging the cessation of this anti-communist and anti-democratic action, the PCP reaffirmed that it wwill continue to closely monitor the evolution of the current case in Poland and to voice their protest against attempts to curtail democratic rights and freedoms and the actions of communists and all those who fight for democracy, social progress, socialism, for the construction of a society free from all forms of exploitation and oppression.
