«April must be fulfilled in Women's lives»

We wanted to commemorate the 8th of March in Almada, and so I want to salute all the women present, and through them all the women in the county. But we also want to dedicate a special salutation to the women working in for this municipality, for their struggle in defense of a 35-hour work week and the recovery of a full Christmas Subsidy (after six years of cuts), a struggle that continues, for better wages, job careers and a better life. A struggle that counts on and will count on PCP.

PCP condemns the Portuguese Government's «recognition» of the self-proclaimed «interim president» of Venezuela nominated by the Trump Administration

PCP condemns the «recognition» and support announced by the Socialist Party (PS) Government, with the support of PSD and CDS, of the puppet «president» nominated by the Trump Administration for Venezuela, which counted on the immediate support by Bolsonaro, in an intolerable affront to the sovereignty and independence of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Venezuelan people, the United Nations Charter and International Law.

«A stronger CDU to build now the future of Portugal and its people!»

Cordial greetings to all those present, to all the components of the CDU,s democratic and unitary vision [CDU = Democratic Unitary Coalition] – specifically “The Greens” environmentalist party, and the many independent individuals who honour us with their participation and contribution. And a very special greeting to João Ferreira, whom we are now introducing as the first candidate on the CDU slate for the upcoming European Parliament election on 26 May.

Joint Appeal for the 2019 elections to the European Parliament

The elections for the European Parliament find the workers and the peoples of the European Union (EU) member states facing enormous difficulties and deadlocks. A reality that is an expression of the EU's intensified exploitation and impoverishment policies.

Joint Appeal for the 2019 elections to the European Parliament «For a Europe of the workers and the peoples»

The Portuguese Communist Party and other communist, progressive and left parties launch a Joint Appeal for the elections to the European Parliament under the motto «For a Europe of workers and peoples».

20 years after, freeing the Country from the submission to the Euro, affirming national sovereignty

The Euro has completed 20 years of existence. The official proclamations of the European Union repeat mechanically, dogmatically and baselessly, the idea of 'success'. A serious and responsible review of the Euro contradicts this propaganda and agrees with all those who, like PCP, from the beginning, denounced its nature and objectives, and alerted towards the consequences of joining the Euro.
