This Wednesday, the PCP announced the artists that will perform at the Avante party, from 4th to 6th of September, all Portuguese or from Portuguese-speaking countries including Xutos, Dino D’Santiago and the Cape Verdean Maria Alice.
The list includes Xutos e Pontapés, Mão Morta, Capicua with Lena d’Água, Camané and Mário Laginha, Blasted, DJ Stereossauro, fadista Aldina Duarte, Peste e Sida and Costa Neto, from Mozambique, Dino D’Santiago and Cape Verdean Maria Alice.
Avante, the official newspaper of the PCP, publishes in its Thursday edition four pages about the artists of the party that the communists continue to prepare, despite the pandemic of covid-19, also making the information available on the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram .
The Avante party page on the Internet shows the sanitary measures to respond to the epidemic outbreak for those who visit Quinta da Atalaia, in Seixal, district of Setúbal, which this year, according to the PCP, will have a useful area of over 10,000 square meters for visitors in order to comply with the distance rules.
Are “more than 30 hectares of green space, shadows, the fruit of the hundreds of trees that have been planted in recent years” for a party that the communists want to be “a great affirmation of the stimulus to culture, art, sport, socializing, leisure, solidarity so necessary for the enjoyment of life today”, according to a statement by the Avante party press released today.
Jerónimo de Sousa, secretary general of the PCP, has said in recent weeks that the party’s “wish” is to hold the party, but whether it takes place depends on the circumstances, that is, on the evolution of the outbreak of the new coronavirus until September.
“The PCP has always followed, respecting what are health protection measures in all circumstances. This is the guarantee we give”, reaffirmed Jerónimo de Sousa a week ago, on the sidelines of a meeting with the Portuguese Confederation of Micro, Small and Medium-sized companies at the party’s headquarters in Lisbon.
The covid-19 pandemic has already claimed more than 511,000 deaths and infected more than 10.5 million people in 196 countries and territories, according to a report by the French agency AFP.
In Portugal, 1,579 people out of 42,454 confirmed as infected died, according to the most recent bulletin from the Directorate-General for Health.
