The years may pass. We can live difficult times, like the ones we live in, but this Portuguese Communist Party does not forget and will be here, every May, to carry on for the future, our always heartfelt tribute to the peasant Catarina Eufémia from Baleizão, who with her formidable courage has become a shining symbol of the struggle of the combative agricultural proletariat of Alentejo, of the struggle of our people for freedom and for the emancipation of the workers and people, pride of Portuguese workers and of her Party.

PCP launched yesterday a National Initiative of contact with workers, part of the campaign «Valuing work and workers. No to exploration!», with dozens of initiatives in all regions of the continent and autonomous regions, which will continue today and over the next few weeks.

We are where we have always been. With the workers and the people, listening to their problems, denouncing the abuses of their rights, making proposals to respond to their demands and desires.

Following the decision of the last meeting of its Central Committee, the PCP will promote, in the coming weeks, a day of contact and information with workers under the motto «Not a single right less», included in the campaign «Valuing work and workers . No to exploitation”.

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on May 16, 2020, discussed and analysed the fundamental features, developments and dangers of the current situation in the context of the epidemic outbreak and set down guidelines for the intervention and strengthening of the Party and the struggle for the patriotic and left-wing alternative.
