Closing Rally - 26th Avante! Festival’s
8 September 2002
With our convictions, with our values, with our struggle asset, here we are in Atalaia, in this beautiful Avante! Festival, in these three days of a festival which the youth made their own.
Some ask themselves why there were this year more people helping build the festival and why more youth attended.

Last Sunday's electoral results not only jeopardize the opportunity for a political change in the direction the country and its problems demanded, but signify a very unfavourable situation in the national political life, the risk of a dangerous deepening of the policy of the right and further developments in the offensive against social rights and conquests.

17 March 2002
On a first appreciation of the results, we stress as an extremely negative fact, the achievement together by PSD and CDS-PP of an absolute majority of deputies, as this represents a very unfavourable evolution of the national political situation, which CDU fought firmly during the electoral campaign.
