This Sunday, the communist secretary general said that the United States, Brussels and NATO “with the complicity of the Portuguese government” are doing everything to ensure that the war in Ukraine continues, without caring about the living conditions of the population.
At the beginning of his speech at the final rally of the communist “rent”, Jeronimo de Souza immediately turned to the topic of the war in Ukraine.
“The escalation of the war in Ukraine and the spiral of sanctions imposed by the United States of America, the European Union and NATO with the complicity of the Portuguese government are inseparable from the rampant speculation and rising prices of energy, food and other vital goods, from the attack on the living conditions of the people, pulling the world into an even more serious economic and social situation,” the communist leader told the participants of the Festa do Avante!.
According to the Secretary General of the PKP, “reality shows who is doing everything to keep the war from ending”, as well as “who is doing everything to get huge profits if it continues”, referring to the military industry and transnational corporations in the energy sector.
Six months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Jeronimo de Souza once again insisted on leaving the party’s position before moving on to the next topic: “The PKP has the right to be on the side since the beginning of peace and against war, the PKP has the right to defend a political solution to the conflict” .
The other side, according to him, contributes to “incitement of hatred” and “aggravation of xenophobia.”
Jeronimo de Sousa also criticized the “strategy of confrontation with imperialism”, the consequences of which, he argued, were that the population pays.
In all parts of the hall, “banners” with calls for peace are visible, which the PKP insisted on in this issue in order to distance itself from criticism of the allies in favor of war and with the Kremlin.
“A peace that is possible only with justice and that must be won along with the fight against exploitation and oppression,” he added.
The 46th edition of the political and cultural event of the communist newspaper and party distribution began on Friday and will end today.
