The Constitution is not the past, it is the affirmation of rights for the future
27 March 2026
The Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, which Álvaro Cunhal, upon its approval, affirmed to be the “testimony of history,” the “faithful portrait of the Revolution,” was an important victory for our people, for the democratic forces and the military of April, enshrining in fundamental law the achievements and values of the April 25th. Revolution, which are still deeply felt today.
A decent life is a right, and the youth are fighting for it.
26 March 2026
Today, as yesterday, the youth take the destiny of their lives into their own hands, they do not conform, nor do they resign themselves, and with the irreverence and creativity that characterises the youth, they fight.
The Government is more interested in protecting profits than protecting people's lives.
26 March 2026
In a Country where propaganda clashes with the real difficulties of life of the majority, where the cost of living is rising and some are obtaining record profits, where wages and pensions are being stretched to make ends meet, where public services are being dismantled, at the outset with the National Health Service (NHS), where access to housing is denied and the present and future of new generations are being mortgaged, it is this Country that PSD, CDS, Chega, and Iniciativa Liberal are further submitting to the US and Israel and dragging Portugal into the war against Iran.
On the conclusions of the European Council meeting of March 19 - Complicity with the military aggression against Iran, inaction in the face of rising prices and cost of living, favouring the interests of multinational corporations
24 March 2026
The conclusions of the European Council meeting of March 19 reveal, once again, the profound contradiction between the proclaimed discourse and the effective practice of the European Union (EU), its alignment and complicity with the US, its disregard for the deteriorating living conditions of workers and peoples, and its policy choices in favour of the interests of economic and financial groups and multinational corporations.

1. We are operating in an international situation in which capitalism reveals its true nature, boosts its violent imperialist action, poses threats and dangers, and this confirms the need for a new path of peace and social progress for Humanity. At the national level, we operate and fight in a context marked by intense class struggle, in an open conflict between those who seek to complete the counter-revolutionary process, in confrontation with the Constitution of the Republic, and the forces that resist it.
