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.

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.

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.

«The privatisation agenda and the operation against April - defeat right-wing policies and reactionary projects»

20 November 2024

Just as the nationalisations were a central feature of the revolutionary process, from their implementation through the actions of the People-Armed Forces Alliance to their enshrinement in the Constitution of the Republic on April 2, 1976, the privatisations were also one of the central elements of the counter-revolutionary process, first in the reconstruction of monopoly capitalism and the power of the big families, later on in the denationalisation of the economy and many of its strategic sectors, with the consequences that are there to see: the destruction of the productive apparatus and

On the elections in the United States of America

6 November 2024

The elections in the United States of America, with the degrading spectacle of the electoral campaign, as well as the opaque and undemocratic nature of the electoral system, portray the marked level of degradation reached by the US political system, which however arrogates to itself the right to give the world lessons in ‘democracy’.

PCP calls for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the Middle East

3 October 2024

Expressing its concern for the worsening situation in the Middle East, the PCP vehemently condemns the escalation of war promoted by Israel, namely its new aggression against Lebanon, which confirms Israel’s intention to expand the conflict to the entire region. One year of genocide against the Palestinian people, and successive provocations and attacks against various countries, prove that Israel’s Zionist Government is not interested in peace in the Middle East.
