Following the eight actions between October 11 and 29, promoted by the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC), the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN) and the Movement for the Rights of the Palestinian People and for Peace in the Middle East (MPPM), nine other actions were held in Portugal, mobilizing thousands of people in various cities throughout the country, demanding an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and other Palestinian territories occupied by Israel and in defense of the national rights of the Palestinian people.

The Appeal "Stop the War! Give Peace a Chance", launched by the Portuguese Council for Peace and Cooperation (CPPC), aimed at carrying out actions in defence of Peace, was supported by several organizations and six public initiatives were held.
It began in Viseu, on the 11th of February, and ended in Porto on the 18th of February, after, on the 16th, actions had taken place in Lisbon, Évora and Setúbal and, on the 17th, in Corroios and a human cord in Coimbra.

In March, June and October 2022, thousands of people converged in defence of peace, in important public acts, parades and gatherings that took place throughout the country.

In 2023, we will take to the streets again because it is urgent:

To stop confrontation and war, whether in Palestine, Western Sahara, Syria, Yemen or Ukraine, with the tragic consequences and serious dangers they entail.

On the 26th of October, in Lisbon, and the 27th of October, in Porto, the CPPC held public actions in defense of Peace!
Hundreds of participants reaffirmed the urgency of replacing foreign interference, the arms race, the threat of the use of force and the use of force in international relations with diplomacy and respect for the principles of international law.
