PCP scheduled a protest for September 17, dedicated to wage increases and price control. This demonstration is part of a broader set of initiatives that the party intends to develop against the increase in the cost of living in Portugal.
The communist party intends, through this action, to make clear not only its own political positioning, but also a broader rejection of the direction of Portuguese government policy. The criticism is directed at the decisions that have been made in the economic and social area.
The PCP's initiatives also arise as a response to the decisions of the European Central Bank, which the party considers to be aligned with a policy that harms workers and the population in general. The party believes these decisions contribute to the worsening of citizens' living conditions.
