The PCP condemns Israel’s aggressions on humanitarian aid workers heading for the Gaza Strip and reaffirms its solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle

The PCP strongly condemns the seizure by Israeli military forces of vessels belonging to the international flotillas of solidarity with Palestine, which took place in international waters, as well as the detention of their crew members and activists, among which Portuguese citizen, who were subjected to aggressions, ill-treatment and degrading treatment by Israeli security forces and political officials.

The PCP rejects and condemns the latest US manoeuvre against Cuba

The alleged indictment made public today by the US Department of Justice against Army General Raúl Castro Ruz sparks the strongest possible rejection and condemnation. This is yet another shameful manoeuvre promoted by the Trump Administration, which seeks to provide a pretext for the escalation of US aggression and threats against Cuba, constituting an affront to the principles of the UN Charter and international law.

The PCP proposes a committee of inquiry to establish responsibility for supporting US and Israeli aggression

The Portuguese Government’s position of vassalage towards the United States of America and Israel is a disgrace to the Country. They are abdicating national sovereignty and independence to align themselves shamelessly with those who unabashedly flout the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law, with those who repress peoples fighting for their self-determination and the right to decide sovereignly on their future and that of their Country, with those who promote confrontation and war.

Your war serves the arms industry, the profits of GALP, SONAE, Jerónimo Martins and the banks, but not the people

Portugal, as defined by the Constitution of the Republic, can only act as an uncompromising defender of international law, a builder of peace, and an advocate for the political resolution of conflicts. After two world wars and millions of deaths, it is easy to conclude that war must be stopped and that everything must be done to ensure it never returns. It is true that Portugal alone cannot impose peace. But it can and must, together with other countries, break away from the chorus of the madness of war and the arms race.

Condemnation of the escalation of aggression and threats by the US against Cuba and a demand for respect for the sovereignty and rights of the Cuban people

The Assembly of the Republic cannot remain indifferent to the US’s inhumane blockade of Cuba

8 May 2026

The Assembly of the Republic cannot remain indifferent to the escalation of the blockade and the threats of military aggression made by the US President against Cuba, a sovereign nation with which Portugal has long-standing diplomatic and friendly relations. An inhumane and criminal blockade and unacceptable threats which, in flagrant violation of the principles of the UN Charter and international law, undermine the sovereignty and rights of the Cuban people.

There is no patch up to a proposal that increases exploitation

6 May 2026

On May Day, Labour Day, workers took to the streets all over the Country in a highly expressive and determined show of strength. They made it abundantly clear that they reject the labour reforms proposed by the Government and employers, refusing to accept any rollbacks or the removal of their rights. They demanded better wages to counter the rising cost of living. They demanded the decent life to which they and their families are entitled.

Cuba will win, thanks to the courage and dignity of the Cuban people and the solidarity of the peoples of the world

19 April 2026

Cuba will win, thanks to the courage and dignity of the Cuban people and the solidarity of the peoples of the world I would like to thank for the honourable invitation extended to the Portuguese Communist Party to participate in this important Conference, under the theme ‘Cuba, the Revolution and the World’, jointly organised by the Portugal-Cuba Friendship Association and other organisations and personalities who support the solidarity movement with Cuba.

CGPT-IN’s National Demonstration against the Labour Package

Thousands of workers take to the streets against the Labour Package

17 April 2026

A flood of people filled the streets of Lisbon today, from Saldanha to the Assembly of the Republic, in a powerful show of strength by those who work and will not accept setbacks. Whilst they gather in offices to hammer out the details of further exploitation, the workers, called by the CGTP-IN, take to the streets to say, “enough is enough”. Enough of poverty wages. Enough of job precariousness. Enough of measures such as the “hour bank” that steal time and rights.

On the elections in Hungary

14 April 2026

The result of the Hungarian elections is marked by the defeat of Fidesz – the political force that has ruled the country for the past 16 years – and by the victory of Tisza – the party led by Péter Magyar, who until recently was a member of the party led by Viktor Orbán –, now with only right-wing and far-right forces represented in Parliament, which suggests the continuation of policies contrary to the interests of the workers and the Hungarian people.

PCP condemns Israel’s brutal aggression against Lebanon

10 April 2026

The PCP strongly condemns Israel’s barbaric bombings on Lebanon, which have caused hundreds of deaths and over a thousand injuries. This crime committed by Israel can only be seen as an attempt to undermine the announced ceasefire agreement and the negotiation process aimed at putting an end to the aggression unleashed by the US and Israel against Iran and other countries in the Middle East. Israel´s Zionist regime is thus reacting, once again, by resorting to the most brutal violence against the populations.

Those who support war are also responsible for the sharp and rapid rise in the cost of living

8 April 2026

However much propaganda, deceit and announcements there may be, the truth is that Portugal is no better off and life for the majority is worse. Rising prices and the cost of living, low wages and pensions, the deterioration of public services, and difficult lives in stark contrast to the record profits of economic groups and multinationals – this is the real Country.

The Constitution is not the past, it is the affirmation of rights for the future

27 March 2026

The Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, which Álvaro Cunhal, upon its approval, affirmed to be the “testimony of history,” the “faithful portrait of the Revolution,” was an important victory for our people, for the democratic forces and the military of April, enshrining in fundamental law the achievements and values of the April 25th. Revolution, which are still deeply felt today.
