We need measures to counter increases in fuel price
19 October 2021
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?»

A global response to national problems and the State Budget proposal for 2022
12 October 2021
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.

I - Results of the local elections
About the results of the elections for local authorities 2021
27 September 2021
The CDU notes the results achieved in a particularly demanding context. A result that had to face, in its construction, a set of adverse factors, but which the mobilization and commitment of thousands of activists and candidates built up, affirming our work, honesty and competence as recognized reasons for support and trust.
A result which, despite its national expression, falls short of the goals that were defined.
The CDU, regardless of the losses registered, confirms itself as a great force in local government.

On the recent developments in Afghanistan
17 August 2021
The recent developments in Afghanistan, including the entry of the Taliban in Kabul, regardless of their future evolution, constitute a clear and humiliating defeat for the US, NATO and all those who participated and colluded in their strategy of war and occupation, including successive Portuguese governments – war and occupation that the PCP opportunely denounced and condemned.
