End of sanctions against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
26 February 2021
Even in a situation of pandemic, the policy of interference and aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela promoted by the US continues, which seriously and in a premeditated way affects the living conditions of the Venezuelan people and, consequently, of the Portuguese-Venezuelan community, seeking to prevent the conditions that can ensure the fulfilment of their rights.

About the Recovery and Resilience Plan and the options that the country needs
26 February 2021
The so-called Recovery and Resilience Plan - RRP, now under public consultation, has been presented by the PS government as being the main response to the country's problems. The Prime Minister even calls it a “bazooka”. But the truth is that the RPP with the approximately 16 billion euros it makes available and the options it makes is far from answering the country's needs and, in many respects, sidesteps national priorities.

15 February 2021
Today we mark the ninetieth anniversary of the Avante!, the central organ of the Portuguese Communist Party, which is proud to say that, in its long life, it fulfilled its role as a class-oriented newspaper, an irreplaceable weapon of the PCP to serve the workers and the people, without ever allowing itself to be subjected or intimidated by the terror of the fascist dictatorship or by the many attempts at silencing by the dominant ideology and powers.

Portugal needs adequate public health measures and socioeconomically balanced
11 February 2021
The State of Emergency and the lockdown are an exception, not a solution.
The extension of the current situation is unsustainable, not only due to the economic and social problems that emerge from it, namely employment-wise, but also due to the health conditions of the population. The situation in which more than one million households are living in, several of which in telework while their children are in distance learning or are under their full-time care, is unsustainable.
