On the electoral results for the Assembly of the Republic
30 January 2022
1. The CDU, PCP and PEV [coalition] have had a constant intervention which, not disregarding any possibility of defending, restoring and winning rights, prevented regressions and scored advances that had a positive impact on the lives of millions of people. The evolution in the country’s situation imposed that solutions be sought for the national problems, for the lives of the Portuguese workers and people. But instead the PS, striving for an absolute majority, in convergence with the President of the Republic, brought about the convening of early elections.

National Demonstration of CGTP-IN
21 November 2021
«It is a great demonstration in an important day of struggle for the valorization of work and workers, particularly the valorization of wages as a fundamental issue, as a national emergency, along with other rights that have been called into question and that workers, using that experience and that famous phrase that "the rights are defended by exercising themselves", here they are exercising that right to proclaim the national demand for the valorization of wages, regulation of hours, the valorization of collective bargaining agreements.

The country's situation and the problems it faces as a result of decades of right-wing policies and which the epidemic has worsened, demand a response and a solution that cannot be postponed. The essential question that is placed is to open perspectives for their overcoming.
This is where the energies and priorities of national policy must be focused. It is with this objective that the PCP has intervened.
