Statement by Jerónimo de Sousa, General Secretary of the PCP

«In a war it is always the people who pay and the big economic groups are those who win»

In a dangerous world where there is so much conflict, from Palestine, to Syria, to Libya, to Yemen, to Ukraine, we believe that this is not the path to follow!

War and confrontation and sanctions are not the path. It is the path of peace. That is what my presence here means. It is this desire that peace should prevail over war in the world, in relation to conflicts and with all the consequences that this entails.

Because generally in a war it is always the people who pay and the big economic groups are those who win, as we are once again witnessing.

It is within this framework that we will do everything possible to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, to seek dialogue and diplomacy and all the means there are to avoid war. Do  not try to find a roadblock in which people end up suffering more than any other entity. And that is why we are here with the Portuguese people fighting for peace.
