PCP Pushes for Separation of All Unions in Extraordinary Dissolution Process

PCP's Proposal for Local Union Separation

The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) is set to propose that all unions of parishes that applied for the extraordinary dissolution process be allowed to separate, regardless of meeting legal criteria.

Alfredo Maia, a PCP representative, emphasized the need to "restore justice and satisfy a legitimate demand from the populations through their representative bodies that prepared, approved, and submitted the processes." This proposal will be voted on in a plenary session scheduled for Friday.

The PCP argues that this is a political process, asserting that all applications should be approved as they represent the will of local authorities and, by extension, their respective populations.
