The PCP calls for policies that serve MSMEs and the Country’s

15 June 2026

Dear comrades, dear friends, I would like to extend my greetings to all those taking part in this meeting with micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, which in itself is a very important sign of the attention and support we are giving to this vital national reality, which involves more than 500,000 companies, very diverse, and constitute a substantial part of the Portuguese economic fabric. Only the PCP would be in a position to organise a meeting with this composition and with the content we have heard here throughout the day.

PCP tables a mid-term increase of €50 for all pensions

11 June 2026

The PCP’s proposal, which is the subject of today’s debate, represents an opportunity – one that the majority supporting the Government must not squander – to restore some fairness for pensioners facing a galloping and drastically rising cost of living.

Interest rate increase by the ECB – a wrong and unfair option that punishes the people and the national economy

11 June 2026

The ECB’s decision this Thursday, June 11, to raise interest rates by 25 basis points – bringing the rate to 2.25% from June 17 – repeats the option to protect bank profits whilst punishing the workers, populations and economic activity as a whole.

Public Higher Education, a strategic pillar for the Country's development

8 June 2026

The changes in Higher Education that the PSD/CDS government is promoting, with the support of Chega, PS, and IL, aimed at the increasing commodification of Public Higher Education, within the framework of a broader offensive to privatise the social functions of the State, have concrete effects. For example, consider the recent change made to the regulations for access and admission to Higher Education for the coming academic year, which restricts access for students with specific educational needs to the special quota for candidates with disabilities.

General Strike of June 3, 2026: a great assertion of the strength to defeat the Labour Package and of hope in a Portugal with a future

3 June 2026

Today’s General Strike is a powerful action to defeat the Labour Package [of labour laws] which was presented by the PSD/CDS Government and supported by Chega, IL [parties] and the bosses’ confederations. It is a clear rejection of social regression and of the heightened exploitation that they wish to impose upon the workers.

Focused on workers’ living conditions: the labour package, wages and rights

29 May 2026

The life of the workers, the reality of the Country, and the ongoing attack on their rights through the Labour package: this is the theme of the parliamentary question we are putting to the Government today.  A process that takes place against a backdrop of growing hardship for the general public, who are facing rising prices that threaten to persist and worsen, increasing difficulties in accessing public services, particularly healthcare, and difficulties in accessing housing due to speculation encouraged by the Government. 

A Call for the General Strike

29 May 2026

The Government, employers, Chega and the Liberal Initiative thought they could increase precariousness, further deregulate working hours, further oppress the lives of working people, dismiss without just cause, and that everyone would simply accept this as normal.

15 Reasons to General Strike

29 May 2026

They say labour laws are outdated and need to be "more flexible", thinking of young people. They say it's not worth fighting. They raise prices; they deregulate working hours; they don't even want to hear about increasing wages and pensions; they never stop profiting from the war and from your work. They are the economic groups. For you, who live out of your work, there is no shortage of reasons to say enough is enough, to join the General Strike on June 3. It is necessary to defeat this Labour Package as a whole and each of its measures.
