General Strike of June 3, 2026: a great assertion of the strength to defeat the Labour Package and of hope in a Portugal with a future

General Strike of June 3, 2026: a great assertion of the strength to defeat the Labour Package and of hope in a Portugal with a future

Today’s General Strike is a powerful action to defeat the Labour Package [of labour laws] which was presented by the PSD/CDS Government and supported by Chega, IL [parties] and the bosses’ confederations. It is a clear rejection of social regression and of the heightened exploitation that they wish to impose upon the workers.

Workers’ living conditions: the labour package, wages and rights

Workers’ living conditions: the labour package, wages and rights

The life of the workers, the reality of the Country, and the ongoing attack on their rights through the Labour package: this is the theme of the parliamentary question we are putting to the Government today.  A process that takes place against a backdrop of growing hardship for the general public, who are facing rising prices that threaten to persist and worsen, increasing difficulties in accessing public services, particularly healthcare, and difficulties in accessing housing due to speculation encouraged by the Government. 

A Call for the General Strike

A Call for the General Strike

The Government, employers, Chega and the Liberal Initiative thought they could increase precariousness, further deregulate working hours, further oppress the lives of working people, dismiss without just cause, and that everyone would simply accept this as normal.

15 Reasons to General Strike

General Strike - June 3, 2026

15 Reasons to General Strike

They say labour laws are outdated and need to be "more flexible", thinking of young people. They say it's not worth fighting. They raise prices; they deregulate working hours; they don't even want to hear about increasing wages and pensions; they never stop profiting from the war and from your work. They are the economic groups. For you, who live out of your work, there is no shortage of reasons to say enough is enough, to join the General Strike on June 3. It is necessary to defeat this Labour Package as a whole and each of its measures.

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.

Continue the Solidarity with the Palestinian People! For a Permanent Ceasefire! For an End to the Genocide! For a Sovereign and Independent Palestine!

9 October 2025

After two years of genocide of the Palestinian people, perpetrated by Israel, the understanding that has now been announced must represent a step towards ensuring a permanent ceasefire, an end to the genocide, full access to humanitarian aid, the full withdrawal of the Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip and an end to its attacks in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem.
