PCP says the Government should fall "as soon as possible"

Paulo Raimundo, the PCP's secretary-general, stated that the government should be defeated as soon as possible, dismissing fears of early elections. He emphasized that the current government does not serve the country and suggested that unions should call for a general strike. Raimundo responded to concerns about electoral consequences from the TU spokesperson, asserting that the government’s defeat is overdue. He clarified that the responsibility for calling strikes lies with the unions, noting that the CGTP has already organized two general strikes this year. He highlighted an upcoming national demonstration on November 21, stressing the importance of its strength for future actions.
