On President Trump's serious statements regarding Palestine

The PCP strongly denounces and condemns the recent serious statements by US President Donald Trump regarding the situation in Palestine and the Middle East, which explicitly proclaim the expulsion of the Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip and the occupation of this territory by the US.

«No to war! No to NATO! For Peace! For a system of collective security!»

The PCP repudiates the objectives of the visit to Portugal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, which is part of a process of pressure and blackmail to increase military spending and promote a warmongering drift, objectives that are contrary to Peace and Portugal's interests.

Continue solidarity with the Palestinian people! End the genocide! Permanent ceasefire! Free and independent Palestine!

The announced ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, whose fulfilment and implementation needs to be verified, must ensure an effective end to the attacks and massacres carried out by Israel, the unconditional access of urgent humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip - which has been prevented by Israel - and the complete withdrawal of Israeli military forces from this Palestinian territory.

PCP condemns the attack on the Venezuelan Consulate in Lisbon

The PCP strongly condemns the attack on the Consulate General of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Lisbon and urges the competent Portuguese authorities to investigate and hold the perpetrators responsible.

This is an unacceptable act that cannot fail to be seen in the light of the practice of terrorist violence that Bolivarian Venezuela has suffered over the years.

Closing speech of the XXII Congress of the PCP

Allow me to greet the guests who greatly honor us with their presence, various organizations and structures, associations, movements, political parties, social organizations, among which I highlight the CGTP-IN delegation.

A special greeting to our allies, the Ecologist Party “Os Verdes”, the Democratic Intervention Association,, and the many independents, without party affiliation, who are part of this project of work, honesty and competence that is the CDU.

The communist ideal and project, the state of the world, the revolutionary overcoming of capitalism, and socialism

Comrades,

The communist ideal and project are the revolutionary compass of our Party. However hostile the circumstances and whatever the immediate tasks and tactical alliances, we must never lose sight of the fact that the highest objective of our struggle and the raison d'être of our Party is the unrelenting struggle against capitalist exploitation and the construction in Portugal of a socialist and communist society.

Identity, intervention and strengthening of the Party

Comrades,

We are holding our Party’s XXII Congress in these historic and challenging times, which heighten the responsibility that we shoulder.

Motion «Struggle of the workers»

Approved unanimously

Nothing is inevitable! With the transforming struggle of the workers and the people, and a stronger and more active PCP, resist and move forward along the path of the April Revolution.

Exposing the logic that is inherent to its true nature, capitalism and the political forces that represent it never miss an opportunity to intensify the exploitation of the workers and peoples, in their quest for a greater accumulation and concentration of wealth.

The context in which we struggle. Characteristics of the offensive and ideological struggle

Comrades,

To address the struggle that we are waging by addressing the context in which it takes place may sound like justification. It is not so. Bearing in mind these conditions, the framework in which the struggle is being waged, the existing balance of forces, assessing the means used to condition our action, identifying those who oppose it - are all essential starting points in order to confront obstacles, overcome difficulties, guarantee success for the Party's response.
