The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) presented proposals for the 2027 State Budget that include a pension increase and the setting of the minimum wage at 1100 euros for the next year. This position was transmitted through a party communiqué.
The communists continue to defend the appreciation of workers' and pensioners' incomes, arguing that these measures are essential to combat social inequalities in Portugal. The PCP has been consistently defending these positions in its budgetary proposals.
The minimum wage proposal of 1100 euros represents an increase compared to the current value, which stands at 870 euros in 2024. The party believes this appreciation is possible and necessary to guarantee dignified living conditions for Portuguese workers.
The PCP's proposals come in the context of preparing the State Budget for 2027, a document that will define the government's budgetary priorities for the next year. The party maintains its critical position regarding austerity policies and advocates for greater State intervention in the economy.
