1. XXII Congress of the PCP – Affirmation, struggle, confidence
Strengthen solidarity with Cuba! End the blockade!
28 January 2025
The PCP strongly condemns the Trump administration's unacceptable decision to re-include Cuba on the arbitrary US list of so-called “State Sponsors of Terrorism”.
Cuba should never have been included on this illegitimate list, especially when it is the US that has for decades been promoting a terrorist policy against the Cuban people and their socialist revolution.
«No to war! No to NATO! For Peace! For a system of collective security!»
27 January 2025
The PCP repudiates the objectives of the visit to Portugal by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, which is part of a process of pressure and blackmail to increase military spending and promote a warmongering drift, objectives that are contrary to Peace and Portugal's interests.
Closing speech of the XXII Congress of the PCP
15 December 2024
Allow me to greet the guests who greatly honor us with their presence, various organizations and structures, associations, movements, political parties, social organizations, among which I highlight the CGTP-IN delegation.
A special greeting to our allies, the Ecologist Party “Os Verdes”, the Democratic Intervention Association,, and the many independents, without party affiliation, who are part of this project of work, honesty and competence that is the CDU.
The communist ideal and project, the state of the world, the revolutionary overcoming of capitalism, and socialism
15 December 2024
Comrades,
The communist ideal and project are the revolutionary compass of our Party. However hostile the circumstances and whatever the immediate tasks and tactical alliances, we must never lose sight of the fact that the highest objective of our struggle and the raison d'être of our Party is the unrelenting struggle against capitalist exploitation and the construction in Portugal of a socialist and communist society.
Identity, intervention and strengthening of the Party
15 December 2024
Comrades,
We are holding our Party’s XXII Congress in these historic and challenging times, which heighten the responsibility that we shoulder.
Motion «Struggle of the workers»
15 December 2024
Approved unanimously
Nothing is inevitable! With the transforming struggle of the workers and the people, and a stronger and more active PCP, resist and move forward along the path of the April Revolution.
Exposing the logic that is inherent to its true nature, capitalism and the political forces that represent it never miss an opportunity to intensify the exploitation of the workers and peoples, in their quest for a greater accumulation and concentration of wealth.
The context in which we struggle. Characteristics of the offensive and ideological struggle
15 December 2024
Comrades,
To address the struggle that we are waging by addressing the context in which it takes place may sound like justification. It is not so. Bearing in mind these conditions, the framework in which the struggle is being waged, the existing balance of forces, assessing the means used to condition our action, identifying those who oppose it - are all essential starting points in order to confront obstacles, overcome difficulties, guarantee success for the Party's response.
Political Resolution
15 December 2024
Chapter 1 Developments in the international situation and the struggle of the workers and the peoples
The developments in the international situation are characterised by great instability and uncertainty with, in general, a substantial overall worsening.
The international relations of PCP, the international communist and revolutionary movement and the anti-imperialist front
14 December 2024
Comrades
As stated in the proposal of political resolution, the international situation is, in general terms, worsening as a result of imperialism's escalation of confrontation and war, which, in addition to its brutal consequences for millions of human beings, contains dangers of a conflict of major proportions.
Reality is demonstrating that, in the face of its relative decline, the United States of America, along with other great capitalist powers, is using all its means to protect its hegemonic dominance.
