National March of CGTP-IN against the Labour Package

The PCP's opposition to this government bill is already well known, but how did you view the Prime Minister's statement about the possibility of a general strike, calling on trade unions to act responsibly and saying that workers' interests should not be captured by party interests?

Commemorative session marking the 112th. anniversary of Álvaro Cunhal's birth “The April Revolution. Profound transformations and resistance against the counter-revolutionary process”

A warm welcome to everyone attending this session, where we mark the 112th. anniversary of the birth of comrade Álvaro Cunhal.

This unique figure in contemporary Portugal, a fighter for freedom and democracy and a beacon in the struggle for social and human emancipation in our Country and around the world.

Álvaro Cunhal dedicated his entire life, as leader of the PCP and anti-fascist fighter, to the cause of the workers, his people and his Country.

Investigate crimes and responsibilities. Stop the sale of Novo Banco and the losses for the Country

1. Yesterday, searches were carried out by the Judicial Police and the Public Prosecutor's Office involving Novo Banco, KPMG and other entities related to the management of that institution's assets, on the very same day that the Government and the Resolution Fund signed the process for the sale of Novo Banco to the buyer BPCE.

End the criminal US blockade against Cuba

For the 33rd. time, the overwhelming majority of countries present at the United Nations General Assembly took a stand to end the blockade imposed by the US on Cuba. This result, despite the unacceptable falsehoods and pressure exerted by the US on various countries to coerce them into changing their vote, once again constituted an expressive condemnation of the US's actions towards Cuba in the framework of the UN.

End the unacceptable blackmails, provocations and threats by the US against Venezuela and other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean

The US has been stepping up its interference, blackmail and intimidation actions against various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

In this context, the deployment of significant US offensive military means near the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the recurring provocative actions carried out by the US in the Caribbean Sea represent a serious threat to the sovereignty and rights of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples and to peace and security in the region.

The State Budget, Government Policy and the Situation of the Country

With the presentation of the State Budget for 2026 proposal last week, the PSD/CDS Government took yet another step towards achieving its objectives and once again made it clear who its policies serve.

This proposal is yet another piece in the ongoing policy of exploitation, injustice and regression.

On the results of the local government elections of October 12, 2025

In very demanding conditions, the results have confirmed the CDU as an important force in local government.

The results show a decrease in the CDU’s electoral expression – whether in terms of its votes and mandates, or in terms of the municipalities where it is the majority force. This result does not reflect the recognized legacy of work and participation of its members elected to local government bodies, and will have a negative influence on the conditions that could ensure an administration corresponding to the interests of the populations.

On the use of the Lajes Base to supply weapons to Israel

The PCP considers it intolerable that F35 aircraft sold by the US to Israel have used the Lajes Base as a stopover.

The PCP also notes the argument put forward by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, casting responsibility on the Ministry of Defence, thus highlighting the Portuguese Government's lack of clear guidance on the Israeli regime and associating Portugal with the supply of weapons for its genocidal policy, of occupation and colonisation.

On the Recognition of the State of Palestine by the Portuguese Government

The Recognition of the State of Palestine by the Portuguese Government is a measure that was long overdue and should have been taken long ago.

It is a measure that has been repeatedly proposed by the PCP for many years, particularly in the Assembly of the Republic, and which was systematically rejected by successive PSD/CDS and PS governments, under the cover ofvarious subterfuges to prevent Portugal from adopting a decision that it had the sovereign right to take.

Rally at the 49th. Avante! Festival

To all the visitors, to those who never miss a Festival, to the many who have come for the first time, to those who have returned, welcome.

A big greeting to each and every one of you, workers in this collective construction that is the Avante! Festival.
