PCP presents last package of proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026
7 November 2025
On this last day for submitting proposals for amendments to the State Budget for 2026, there is a preliminary issue that needs to be addressed, lest it be forgotten once again. The State Budget for 2026 cannot ignore the tragedy of the forest fires that ravaged the country this summer. The diagnosis has been made, and what needs to be done to prevent and combat fires has been clearly identified. This requires investment in forests that cannot continue to be postponed as it has been until now.
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.

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.
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.
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.

16 October 2025
With the presentation of the State Budget for 2026 proposal last week, the PSD/CDS Government took yet another step towards achieving its objectives and once again made it clear who its policies serve.
This proposal is yet another piece in the ongoing policy of exploitation, injustice and regression.

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.
