Vigil in solidarity with Palestine

All these flags symbolise each of the deaths that have occurred in Palestine in the last month.

The big issue to address is the need to stop the ongoing massacre, as well as stop the war crimes and the hypocrisy and cynicism associated with this situation.

This is an inescapable issue that requires immediate action.

Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of October 15 and 16, 2023

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on October 15 and 16, 2023, analysed the national and international situation and the necessary responses to the problems of the workers, the people and the country. It pointed out the priority lines of intervention for the party collective.

For Peace in the Middle East

The chief reason why the PCP is in this gathering is mainly to say that it is necessary to stop. It is necessary to stop the escalation of violence. It is necessary to stop the war. It is necessary to stop the attacks that we condemn against civilians.

Housing is a right that we cannot relinquish

There are thousands of people today in a situation of great personal deprivation and they can no longer endure this.

They can no longer afford the rent, they can no longer bear the brutal increase in loan payments and therefore this is a problem that has to be faced head on, with concrete measures.

There are thousands and thousands of people here, and as we also know, with very different expressions, all over the country, people who are here claiming the right to housing.

It is a right that we cannot relinquish.

On the social situation, the measures necessary to increase wages and pensions and the ongoing manoeuvres to prevent it

Portugal faces large-scale structural problems and growing and heightened inequality and injustice in the distribution of the wealth created.

A situation in which the lives of workers and large sectors of the population experience more difficulties while a handful of people concentrate profits like never before.

It cannot continue like this; the situation of workers and people and the future of the country demand a response.

«The fascist coup in Chile shows that big capital, whenever it feels its dominance in danger, is tempted to resort to all means and the greatest crimes»

On September 11, 1973, exactly 50 years ago, a military coup, led by Augusto Pinochet, overthrew President Salvador Allende and his Government of Popular Unity, took power by force and imposed a brutal fascist dictatorship on the Chilean people.

A heinous act that communists, and certainly other democrats, have the responsibility and duty to mark.

Not letting fall into oblivion the brutal wave of violence that characterised the coup and horrified the Chilean people and the world.

Rally of the 47th. Avante Festival!

From here I salute the thousands who built, promoted and those who ensure the functioning of this great Festival, I salute the youth and JCP who make this remarkable collective construction, and rightly so, their Festival.

I salute all the visitors, those who are always there, those who have returned and those who are here for the first time.

Here you are at home and know that tomorrow we will be by your side, in different expressions of life, in the difficulties, in the dream, in the joy, in the fair struggles that we will carry out.

Yes to Peace! For a world free of nuclear weapons!

August 6, 1945 is a date that progressive and peace-loving forces around the world signal, so that the memory of the monstrous crime, which was the launching of the first atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima ( and three days later on Nagasaki), is not forgotten and learn from that tragedy, which caused thousands of deaths and suffering that lasts until today, lessons for the fight against militarism and war and for nuclear disarmament.

TAP does not need to be privatised, it needs to be valued and managed to serve the interests of the Country

The book that we present here today is, and as its name implies, PCP’s contribution not only for resisting the privatisation of TAP, but also a clear denunciation of the tragedy of privatisations in Portugal.

A tragedy sustained for years and years by a brutal ideological campaign aimed at public companies, seeking to convince the workers and the Portuguese people that what was theirs, built with their effort and work, should be delivered into the hands of capital.

«The solidarity that we can express to the Cuban people and their revolution will always be little»

I'm sure we will hear the President of Cuba here, in this act of solidarity with the Cuban people, with their revolution, with their right to sovereignty, with their example, which is an act of solidarity. I would say that the solidarity we show to the Cuban people, to the revolution, will always be a small solidarity.
