PCP warns that the unfreezing of tuition fees is the "unlocking of the door" for the Government and advises Montenegro to "listen to the streets"

The PCP criticizes the government's plan to unfreeze tuition fees in higher education, arguing it will lead to increased costs for students. Secretary-General Paulo Raimundo emphasizes the need to eliminate fees instead, especially given the rising cost of living. The PCP has proposed a law to phase out tuition fees over two years, starting with a 50% reduction in the 2027/2028 academic year. Raimundo warns that ignoring public dissent could lead to increased protests, as demonstrated by recent student demonstrations in Lisbon. He urges the government to reconsider its stance, recalling previous failures to implement similar policies.
