At a rally in Lisbon with many hundreds of participants, Jerónimo de Sousa said that "Removing the PSD and CDS government represents an imperative to honour the will of the majority of the Portuguese people. It is this aspiration that the PCP “will seek to meet without hesitation" , adding that "whatever the circumstances and the evolution of the situation (...) the votes of PCP’s MPs will always contribute to all measures that are useful to the workers, the people and the Country and will oppose all that means more exploitation, impoverishment, social injustice and national decline."

The legislative election rendered an express condemnation of the PSD/CDS government and its policy and has to have political and institutional consequences.

The result obtained by CDU confirms its political expression achieved during the last elections and points to a progress in its vote which, in a result all the more important and as more demanding becomes the intervention, whether at the parliamentary level or in terms of struggle, in the near future will be part of the political and social life of the country.

With this grandiose rally, we initiate the Electoral Campaign for the National Parliament. It is a very important battle that will determine the evolution of national life in the more immediate future.
