Statement of the PCP Central Committee of December 15th - 16th, 2013

Having analysed the national situation, the worsening economic and social situation and the consequences that Portugal will suffer as a result of the 2014 State Budget adoption, it was reasserted that mass struggle is the key element in fighting the ongoing offensive. The Central Committee expressed solidarity with ongoing struggles, and appealed to workers, communities, and to all democrats and patriots to not give up in the face of the offensive and to fight for a patriotic and left-wing alternative.The Central Committee highlighted the dimension, scope and significance of the events held as part of Álvaro Cunhal's centennial, and adopted two resolutions: One on organisational party-strengthening, and another on the April Revolution's 40th anniversary celebration in 2014.

40th anniversary of the April Revolution - The values of April in Portugal's future

In 2014, the Portuguese workers and people will celebrate 40 years of April 25, 1974 – the April Revolution.

1. The April Revolution is an historic achievement of the Portuguese people and an act of social and national emancipation, which represents one of the most important events in Portugal's history.
