Those who have worked a lifetime have the right and we have the duty to guarantee them the rest of their life with quality
16 January 2024
Greetings to everyone present at this get-together lunch.
A lunch with so many comrades, with so many friends, with so many trustworthy, honest, dedicated, hard-working people who deserve a better life.
People from this land of struggle and resistance, people who know that each of the rights, each of the advances is in the hands of each and every one.
It is in the hands of all of us, every day we fight for what we are entitled to and for what we have, but what we really have is the right to a better life.

100 days.
100 days of bombings that have killed more than 23 thousand people, including over 9000 children. 100 days of destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, healthcare centres, the lives of even those who survive. But it is also 100 days of international solidarity that does not wane.

«Banks, insurance companies, postal services, telecommunications, energy, airports – privatisations have been a feast for big capital»
6 January 2024
Here we are in this new year, which begins with new hardships and price increases.
It is so in food, rents, housing loans, tolls, telecommunications, in a list that never stops, and which is always shouldered by the majority of the workers and the population, at the same time that it fills the coffers of economic groups, those for whom there are never difficulties.
New Year’s Message
29 December 2023
I know from my own experience the difficulties that the vast majority of us face in contrast to economic groups that accumulate 25 million euros in profits per day.
Injustice and inequality are a harsh reality.
But it doesn't have to be, and it can't be like this.
The Portuguese people spread across the world, those who live and work here, have the right to a better life.
There are many people who are rightly disenchanted, outraged, and have lost faith.
But the country has a future.

Greetings to everyone present, to the members of the Party, to those who are not from the Party and are here and well with us.

The calendar would have it that a year ago I was here for my first lunch as General Secretary of the Party, and what a great initiative we held at that time, but although big it fell short of this magnificent lunch that we are holding here today, great participation, great mobilisation, what a great atmosphere.
