  • PCP didn’t “do reformism”. Their “support” of the Geringonça was also never “official”, as in they weren’t part of the government, it was a minority government that had to compromise to make whatever they wanted pass parliament, and since it was a center-left party in power, they preferred compromise with the left. It was also only done to avoid another mandate by the center-right party (PSD who had the most votes in the election) and their austerity in the prior years. They’re one of the most principled communist parties not in power and the major reason for their underperformance is precisely because unlike other reformist parties they’ve maintained their anti-EU stance and their opposition to Ukraine and support of countries like the DPRK and Cuba. Even the word Geringonça itself means something like “contraption”, as in something that could break at any time.
