PCP condemns Israel’s brutal aggression against Lebanon

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

A decent life is a right, and the youth are fighting for it.

A decent life is a right, and the youth are fighting for it.

Today, as yesterday, the youth take the destiny of their lives into their own hands, they do not conform, nor do they resign themselves, and with the irreverence and creativity that characterises the youth, they fight.

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

7 November 2025

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

5 November 2025

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.

Investigate crimes and responsibilities. Stop the sale of Novo Banco and the losses for the Country

5 November 2025

1. Yesterday, searches were carried out by the Judicial Police and the Public Prosecutor's Office involving Novo Banco, KPMG and other entities related to the management of that institution's assets, on the very same day that the Government and the Resolution Fund signed the process for the sale of Novo Banco to the buyer BPCE.

PCP presents initial proposals for the 2026 State Budget

5 November 2025

Following the discussion and vote on the 2026 State Budget, that revealed the consequences of the political choices contained therein, which will lead to greater inequality and injustice, with the benefits granted to big capital through IRC corporate income tax cuts, tax benefits, public-private partnerships and large transfers of public resources, which contrast with a policy of low wages and pensions and attacks on public services and on the social functions of the State.

End the criminal US blockade against Cuba

5 November 2025

For the 33rd. time, the overwhelming majority of countries present at the United Nations General Assembly took a stand to end the blockade imposed by the US on Cuba. This result, despite the unacceptable falsehoods and pressure exerted by the US on various countries to coerce them into changing their vote, once again constituted an expressive condemnation of the US's actions towards Cuba in the framework of the UN.

This government's Budget and policies must be defeated

28 October 2025

Mr President, honourable Members, Mr. Prime Minister, we leave this debate with the certainty that your budget and your policy must be defeated. The more your propaganda and your policies advance, the more will remain to be recovered in the lives of those who work, those who have worked their entire lives, and the youth.

End the unacceptable blackmails, provocations and threats by the US against Venezuela and other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean

28 October 2025

The US has been stepping up its interference, blackmail and intimidation actions against various countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua and Venezuela. In this context, the deployment of significant US offensive military means near the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the recurring provocative actions carried out by the US in the Caribbean Sea represent a serious threat to the sovereignty and rights of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples and to peace and security in the region.

The State Budget is bad because of what it contains and because it is an instrument of a disastrous policy for those who live and work here.

27 October 2025

Mr President, honourable Members, Mr. Prime Minister, we are discussing a State Budget that is a piece of a disastrous policy based on propaganda and serving a minority that lives off the hard life of the majority of the people. A budget at the behest of Brussels, of tax breaks, of diverting resources from the National Health Service to groups in the business of disease, of transfers to new Public-Private Partnerships and of support that is never lacking for the golden non-habitual residents.

Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of October 14, 2025

14 October 2025

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on October 14, 2025, analysed the results of the local elections, addressed various aspects of the national and international situation and the elections for President of the Republic. It also decided on lines of action for the intervention and strengthening of the Party. I - Local elections

On the results of the local government elections of October 12, 2025

12 October 2025

In very demanding conditions, the results have confirmed the CDU as an important force in local government. The results show a decrease in the CDU’s electoral expression – whether in terms of its votes and mandates, or in terms of the municipalities where it is the majority force. This result does not reflect the recognized legacy of work and participation of its members elected to local government bodies, and will have a negative influence on the conditions that could ensure an administration corresponding to the interests of the populations.
