PCP communist leader Jerónimo Sousa has defended the end of economic sanctions against Russia, Venezuela and Iran, on the basis that they ‘aggravate the living conditions of the Portuguese people”, and have resulted in crippling increases in the price of fossil fuels.

The PCP has already shot itself in both feet over the Russia/ Ukraine conflict.
