PCP wants Portugal prepared to leave the Euro

Two days after the British had decided in a referendum, leaving the European Union (EU), the so-called "Brexit" was one of the analysis of issues by the Central Committee meeting this weekend, de- week in Lisbon and whose findings were presented Sunday.

"We must be prepared to have its own initiative, must sovereignly decide what we want for our country, not what others impose on us," said the general secretary of the CFP. It was a clarification to a sentence read by the general secretary of the Communist: "The urgency and the need for Portugal to prepare and be prepared to free submission to the Euro in order to guarantee the rights, employment, production, sovereignty and national independence. "

In the end, the leader of the PCP avoided opine a calendar and, likewise, did not rule on the method that should lead Portugal to abandon the discipline of the single currency. "This desamarramento the single currency policy has to be a process, not a sudden act" needed. But always listed what should be the protagonists of such a change: "It should be the Government, the Parliament preparing to exit the Euro, it's your responsibility."

The solution is for the CFP, conducting an intergovernmental summit to address the reversibility of the Treaties, the revocation of the Budgetary Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty. Decision should be taken at the European Council on Wednesday.


"The victory of the European Union exit the referendum in the UK is an extremely important political event for the people of the UK and Europe," reads the statement. "It represents a fundamental change in the capitalist integration process in Europe and a new level in the fight against the EU of big business and the major powers, and a Europe of workers and peoples," he explains.

Although the Communists refer to "reactionary character elements, xenophobic and political manipulation that is expressed in the campaign (...) that the CFP combat and remade frontally," Sousa Jeronimo preferred a nuance. "Splay only xenophobia is to have short-sighted, the restrictions of the European Union fueled xenophobia and this is what is found not only in the UK but in other countries," he said in response to PUBLIC.

In the three-page and a half of the statement, in addition to announcing partisan initiatives - party Avante - and to proclaim the accuracy of close combat in regional elections in the Azores and in local, PCP does not fail to underline some of the government work. Although no concrete signal points makes a generally positive assessment: "Despite advances and projects under the new phase of national political life, remain a set of traits in social terms that reflect the sharp increase in recent years."

special attention deserves the Communists the situation of the financial system . Condemn the sorting maneuvers aimed at destabilizing the Caixa Geral de Depósitos . " Operation of the PSD with the survey operation and has the support of the CDS aims to encourage private competitors of Caixa Geral de Depósitos and pave the way for its full or partial privatization ," insisted Jeronimo de Sousa.


In this context, the PCP again expressed its support for a process of recapitalization of the case and the development of public entity "in the service of the people and the country ." Finally , the Central Committee of the Communist also drew attention to the attention of developments around the New Bank , criticizing the restructuring involving the dismissal of hundreds of workers .
