​Declaration of Jerónimo de Sousa, General Secretary of the PCP

Solidarity and valuing considering the objectives of this great action, turned towards the valuing of labor, towards a necessary response to these problems before us (labor precariousness, wrongs of the labor code that need resolution, wages, work schedule and fighting deregulation) within the framework of the concrete objectives that require an answer, not reached until now.

Therefore we consider that the struggle is not optional, on the contrary, the worker's struggle in defense of their rights and interests is a fundamental element to achieve new advances and to maintain this recovery of incomes and rights.

This is more than a presence in solidarity, but also to receive this sentiment and materialize it in Parliament with several Laws, as we will do next June 12th, with a bill fighting precariousness and valuing the rights of those who work.
