Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of June 27 and 28, 2026

Communiqué of the Central Committee of the PCP of June 27 and 28, 2026

The Central Committee of the PCP, meeting on June 27 and 28, 2026, analysed the country’s political and social situation, valued the workers’ struggle and the defeat of the Labour Package, evaluated developments in the international situation, and outlined the Party’s immediate course of action. It also assessed the implementation of the resolution on the Party and the strengthening of its organisation and activities.  

«Struggle, path to victory»

«Struggle, path to victory»

What an important journey we are embarking on, and we have more than enough reasons for it to be so. Here is the victory march, here is the celebration of work, of resistance, of struggle. We said: we will not give up, the package is going to fall, and the package fell. A great victory for the workers. The Labour Package has been defeated.

A great victory of the workers in Portugal! The workers’ struggle has defeated the Labour Package in the workplaces, in the streets and in Parliament!

A great victory of the workers in Portugal! The workers’ struggle has defeated the Labour Package in the workplaces, in the streets and in Parliament!

The workers in Portugal have achieved, through their struggle, a great victory in defending their labour and trade union rights, by defeating the Labour Package [of legislation] put forth by the PSD/CDS Government and which was supported by the bosses’ confederations. This is a great victory, which shows the decisive strength of the workers’ organization, struggle and unity.

MPs and political parties will have to decide: Are they on the side of the workers or on the side of the Government’s labour package?

MPs and political parties will have to decide: Are they on the side of the workers or on the side of the Government’s labour package?

Now is the moment of truth, every MP and every party will have to decide whether to vote against or in favour of even greater precariousness, even greater deregulation of working hours and people’s lives, even greater pressure on wages, the liberalisation of dismissals, or unpaid overtime through the “hour bank” scheme.

Government diverts public resources to real estate speculation, driving up prices and increasing housing precariousness

4 December 2025

1. The changes in the fiscal field that the PSD/CDS Government intends to promote with the request for legislative authorisation submitted yesterday to the Assembly of the Republic constitute an unacceptable choice in favour of real estate speculation and fiscal injustice. The diversion of public resources to real estate funds, banks and large real estate owners is at the heart of this tax package, which goes even further than what was announced in September. 2. Among other serious aspects, the following stand out:

We still have time to stop the economic crime that is the privatisation of TAP

4 December 2025

Let’s not repeat the same mistake! We still have time to stop the economic crime that is the privatisation of TAP. A criminal investigation is underway into evidence of crimes committed during the process of the privatisation of TAP in 2015, but also during the period of private management, which the PCP denounced at the time because TAP was acquired by a private group with TAP's own money, and also denounced the excesses of private management.

The proposals in the Labour Package reek of stale ideas against workers' rights

3 December 2025

The ongoing mobilisation for the General Strike, with the support of a wide range of sectors, is already a powerful demonstration of rejection of the Labour Package that the Government and the rest of the right-wing, serving the interests of employers, intend to impose, in a serious setback for rights and an unacceptable worsening of the exploitation of workers. The more the Minister of Labour attacks the workers, the clearer the intentions of the Government and employers become, the more unity grows, and the conviction increases that this struggle is just.

The PCP stands in solidarity with the Communist Party of Poland

2 December 2025

Following the new attempt to ban the Communist Party of Poland, through a motion presented by the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, to the Constitutional Court, the PCP sent a letter to the Embassy of Poland in Portugal expressing its profound indignation and repudiation of this unacceptable initiative. The adoption of this initiative will represent a serious attack on democratic rights and freedoms in Poland, based on an unacceptable and dangerous operation of historical revisionism, which aims to criminalise the communist ideal and ban the actions of Polish communists.

On the situation in Guinea-Bissau

28 November 2025

The PCP strongly condemns the actions carried out by a self-proclaimed “military high command” that have undermined the constitutional order of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau and the functioning of its institutions, preventing the announcement of the results of the legislative and presidential elections scheduled for 27 November, invading the campaign headquarters of presidential candidate Fernando Dias da Costa and seizing Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the People’s National Assembly of Guinea-Bissau and leader of the PAIGC, as well as other political leaders

Concert «Camões: cultural expression of a changing world»

Camões: The poet of the people in a changing world

22 November 2025

I would like to thank everyone for attending this concert, which is part of the PCP's programme of celebrations of the 500th. Anniversary of the birth of Luís de Camões. Allow me to extend a special greeting to the artists, cultural workers and everyone who worked hard to make this initiative a reality.

No to US military aggression against Venezuela - For Peace in Latin America and the Caribbean

19 November 2025

The PCP condemns the serious and unacceptable warmongering actions and threats of military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela by the Trump administration which, under false pretexts, aim to impose the domination and plundering of this country's huge resources by US imperialism

Commemorative session marking the 112th. anniversary of Álvaro Cunhal's birth

Commemorative session marking the 112th. anniversary of Álvaro Cunhal's birth “The April Revolution. Profound transformations and resistance against the counter-revolutionary process”

10 November 2025

A warm welcome to everyone attending this session, where we mark the 112th. anniversary of the birth of comrade Álvaro Cunhal. This unique figure in contemporary Portugal, a fighter for freedom and democracy and a beacon in the struggle for social and human emancipation in our Country and around the world. Álvaro Cunhal dedicated his entire life, as leader of the PCP and anti-fascist fighter, to the cause of the workers, his people and his Country.

National March of CGTP-IN against the Labour Package

11 November 2025

The PCP's opposition to this government bill is already well known, but how did you view the Prime Minister's statement about the possibility of a general strike, calling on trade unions to act responsibly and saying that workers' interests should not be captured by party interests?
