Act of solidarity «Together for Cuba»

«The solidarity that we can express to the Cuban people and their revolution will always be little»

15 July 2023

I'm sure we will hear the President of Cuba here, in this act of solidarity with the Cuban people, with their revolution, with their right to sovereignty, with their example, which is an act of solidarity. I would say that the solidarity we show to the Cuban people, to the revolution, will always be a small solidarity.

Shameful resolution against Cuba by the European Parliament

13 July 2023

The resolution adopted in this plenary session of the European Parliament against Cuba represents a shameful manoeuvre which, by means of an unacceptable exercise of falsification and grotesque considerations, seeks to pave the way to the most shameless interference and promotion of destabilisation action against Cuba and to hinder the necessary development of relations between the European Union and Cuba, a perspective opened up with the signing of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement.

Immediate end to Israel's violence against the Palestinian people

5 July 2023

Israel’s brutal attack, with aerial and terrestrial means, on the Palestinian refugee camp in Jenin, which on July 3 alone left 10 dead, more than 100 injured and the expulsion of hundreds of families, is a new and unacceptable act of violence against the Palestinian people.

Solidarity with the Venezuelan people’s determination

13 July 2023

This resolution on Venezuela insists on the manipulation and concealment of facts and on buttressing US’s interventionist strategy. For more than two decades, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has been the target of US interference and aggression, examples of which are the orchestration of coups d'état, the creation of puppet 'institutions', the continuing campaign of disinformation or the imposition of a cruel economic blockade, aimed at affecting the rights and living conditions of the Venezuelan people.

We demand an immediate end to Israel's violence against the Palestinian people

12 July 2023

We are debating this resolution in the context of Israel's increasingly brutal policy of aggression against the Palestinian people. An example of this is the recent attack on the Jenin refugee camp - 12 dead, over 100 injured, including children, the expulsion of hundreds of families from their homes. We condemn and demand an immediate end to Israel's violence against the Palestinian people.

Public meeting «For the right to Housing. Lower mortgage payments and rents»

For the right to Housing. Lower mortgage payments and rents

11 July 2023

I would like to begin by underlining the timeliness of this initiative at a time when thousands and thousands of people are struggling to access or maintain housing. A situation that rightly worries so many men and women living in our country. It worries those who have a rented home and are faced with rent increases or risk eviction. It worries those who have loans and see the mortgage payments rise to unaffordable values. It worries the more than 70 thousand families who live without decent housing.

«Government propaganda does not pay rents, mortgages, does not put food on the table»

28 June 2023

We are here for yet another momentous day of a great day of struggle by Portuguese workers. A very fair struggle, very fair demands, struggling for what is a fundamental issue today, which is wages, rights, against precariousness, a struggle for their rights, their aspirations. But it is a struggle for the country too.

Restrictions on 5G: Portugal needs to diversify economic relations instead of letting itself be captured by interests that are not its own

22 June 2023

1. The PCP considers of enormous gravity the decision to exclude from 5G networks – for alleged security reasons –the technology of countries that are not part of NATO, the EU, or the OECD. This decision, which goes even further than what was "demanded" of the country by the US and the EU (in an unacceptable exercise of external imposition), is directed against countries like Brazil, China and India, which are not only some of the largest world economies but also traditional partners, with whom Portugal has developed economic relations for a long time.
