«A society that values the right to be a child, to grow up healthy and happy, has its eyes on the future and on a humanist and sovereign development project»

The greatest wealth of a country is its people. An educated and cultured people, solidary and sovereign, respected and with rights, is the decisive force to build a democratic and developed country.

Ensuring integral development for children, adolescents and young people is essential for a country that wants to have a future. Ensuring that they grow up healthy and happy, with curiosity and respect for the world around them, is everyone's right, regardless of their circumstances, but it is also a factor of development and emancipation for all.

«Here we are to change the world, this is our project for the future, that is why we will always be the Party of the Youth!»

The Party that celebrates 101 years today, which the young communists salute with an affection the size of our dreams, the size of the world. Our Party!

A party that has always maintained its commitment to the workers, the people and the Portuguese youth.

And here we are to change the world, to free it from exploitation, to build socialism and communism. This is our project for the future, that is why we will always be the Party of the Youth!

Long live the struggle of youth!

Stop the war! Demand a path of dialogue and peace!

It is necessary to defend dialogue and peace, not the increase in policy and measures that are at the origin of the escalation of the conflict in Europe.

The PCP reaffirms its consistent position against war and in favour of peace.

Confrontation and war will not solve humanity's problems, on the contrary, they will only worsen them.

The PCP calls for the promotion of initiatives for dialogue and peace in Europe

The PCP expresses its deep concern at the serious developments in the situation in Eastern Europe, involving large-scale Russian military operations in Ukraine, far beyond the Donbass region, and calls for an urgent de-escalation of the conflict, for the establishment of a cease-fire and the opening of a path of negotiation.

End the escalation of US and NATO confrontation against Russia - defend peace, promote disarmament

The PCP condemns the escalation of confrontation promoted by the US and NATO against Russia. An escalation that, taking place at the military, economic and political levels, and being sustained by a fierce disinformation campaign, constitutes a serious threat to peace.

The aggressive action by the US and NATO has intensified over the last few weeks, with the deployment of more means and military contingents in Eastern Europe – including military support to Ukraine – accompanied by the threat of imposing new economic sanctions against Russia.

On the electoral results for the Assembly of the Republic

1. The CDU, PCP and PEV [coalition] have had a constant intervention which, not disregarding any possibility of defending, restoring and winning rights, prevented regressions and scored advances that had a positive impact on the lives of millions of people. The evolution in the country’s situation imposed that solutions be sought for the national problems, for the lives of the Portuguese workers and people. But instead the PS, striving for an absolute majority, in convergence with the President of the Republic, brought about the convening of early elections.

PCP's commitment to women's rights: Combating and preventing discrimination, inequalities and violence - Equality at work and in life

For the PCP, signalling the day for the end of violence against women is not the evocation of an event, but rather expressing its support for the struggle of women against labour exploitation, inequalities, discrimination and violence, anchored in a vast heritage of reflection and proposal , embodied in the European Parliament and in the Assembly of the Republic regarding the various expressions of violence against women at work, in the family and in society, aimed at the reinforcement of legislation, but also a path towards its eradication.

National Demonstration of CGTP-IN

«It is a great demonstration in an important day of struggle for the valorization of work and workers, particularly the valorization of wages as a fundamental issue, as a national emergency, along with other rights that have been called into question and that workers, using that experience and that famous phrase that "the rights are defended by exercising themselves", here they are exercising that right to proclaim the national demand for the valorization of wages, regulation of hours, the valorization of collective bargaining agreements.
