National March of CGTP-IN against the Labour Package

The PCP's opposition to this government bill is already well known, but how did you view the Prime Minister's statement about the possibility of a general strike, calling on trade unions to act responsibly and saying that workers' interests should not be captured by party interests?

PCP presents last package of proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026

On this last day for submitting proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026, there is a preliminary issue that needs to be addressed, lest it be forgotten once again. The State Budget for 2026 cannot ignore the tragedy of the forest fires that ravaged the country this summer. The diagnosis has been made, and what needs to be done to prevent and combat fires has been clearly identified. This requires investment in forests that cannot continue to be postponed as it has been until now.

PCP presents 15 proposals for fiscal justice and the defence of national interests

The Country has the means and resources that are essential to strengthen public services. Fiscal justice is therefore necessary to reduce taxes on low and middle incomes and micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and tax the profits of large economic groups and multinationals. A policy is needed to tackle the scandalous favouritism shown to economic groups. In the scope of the discussion of the State Budget for 2026, the PCP today submitted 15 proposals that demonstrate that fiscal justice and combating tax evasion are possible.

On President Trump's serious statements regarding Palestine

Develop solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!

Strengthen solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!

28 January 2025

The PCP strongly condemns the Trump administration's unacceptable decision to re-include Cuba on the arbitrary US list of so-called “State Sponsors of Terrorism”. Cuba should never have been included on this illegitimate list, especially when it is the US that has for decades been promoting a terrorist policy against the Cuban people and their socialist revolution.

«No to war! No to NATO! For Peace! For a system of collective security!»

27 January 2025

The PCP repudiates the objectives of the visit to Portugal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, which is part of a process of pressure and blackmail to increase military spending and promote a warmongering drift, objectives that are contrary to Peace and Portugal's interests.

It is Urgent to End the War

18 January 2025

Continue solidarity with the Palestinian people! End the genocide! Permanent ceasefire! Free and independent Palestine!

18 January 2025

The announced ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, whose fulfilment and implementation needs to be verified, must ensure an effective end to the attacks and massacres carried out by Israel, the unconditional access of urgent humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip - which has been prevented by Israel - and the complete withdrawal of Israeli military forces from this Palestinian territory.

Develop solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!

16 January 2025

The Biden administration's decision to remove Cuba from the arbitrary US list of so-called “State Sponsors of Terrorism”, four years after its inclusion by the Trump administration, is the result, first and foremost, of the just and persistent struggle of the Cuban people to defend their sovereignty and rights, as well as the repeated position of various countries and the action of the Cuba solidarity movement.

PCP condemns the attack on the Venezuelan Consulate in Lisbon

12 January 2025

The PCP strongly condemns the attack on the Consulate General of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Lisbon and urges the competent Portuguese authorities to investigate and hold the perpetrators responsible. This is an unacceptable act that cannot fail to be seen in the light of the practice of terrorist violence that Bolivarian Venezuela has suffered over the years.

Anti-democratic operation, invoking the 25th. of November

25 November 2024

The session on the 25th. of November that took place today in the Assembly of the Republic proved to be a moment of confrontation with the April Revolution, its achievements and values, inseparable from the growing promotion of reactionary and fascistic conceptions that were paraded there by the main promoters of this provocation.
