There is no patch up to a proposal that increases exploitation

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.

Thousands of workers take to the streets against the Labour Package

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.

PCP condemns Israel’s brutal aggression against Lebanon

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.
