PCP announces campaign against rising prices and degradation of public services

SAPO Notícias15 September 2026 at 17:34

The PCP announced the launch of a campaign of denunciation and claim-based struggle against rising prices and the degradation of public services. The action takes place between September 17 and October 11.

The campaign kickoff is scheduled for September 17, with a honking protest against fuel price increases. This initiative aims to protest against the worsening cost of living and the difficulties faced by the Portuguese population.

The communist party justifies this mobilization with the need to respond to the generalized increase in prices and the deterioration of public services, issues that have affected citizens throughout the country. The campaign aims to bring together sectors of the population affected by these issues.

Why this matters

The campaign directly affects citizens by targeting rising fuel prices and the degradation of public services, themes that impact the cost of living and quality of life of Portuguese families. The starting honking protest marks the beginning of a mobilization period that promises to continue pressuring the government on these economic and social issues.
