During the Festa do Avante, the secretary-general of the PCP remarked that the approval of the State Budget (OE) by the Socialist Party (PS) would provide the government with conditions to "escalate the attack." In his view, this action will allow Chega to avoid having to initiate such measures.

Raimundo, the leader of the PCP, warned that the approval of the OE could lead to a strengthening of right-wing forces, giving them "more conditions" to intensify their actions against workers.

He mentioned that the government will make efforts to allow capital access to workers' resources, as well as to affect Social Security.

The secretary-general expressed concern over the potential consequences that the approval of the OE could have on both social rights and the distribution of resources.

The comments made at the Festa do Avante underscore the PCP's critical stance on the budget policy under discussion and its ability to influence the current political landscape.
