Avante! (Onwards!) is the official newspaper of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP). Founded in 1931, it continues to be published to this day. The newspaper's motto is ' Workers of the World, Unite! ' and has been present in every edition of the newspaper since the very first. Its headquarters is in Lisbon.
The newspaper started to be an irregular publication due to the constant repression against the Portuguese Communist Party led by the authorities during the Estado Novo regime, who consistently assaulted the clandestine printing offices. After a major reorganization in 1940, the party was able to make Avante! a better distributed newspaper among the working class, reporting events such as World War II or the Portuguese Colonial War without censorship. After the Carnation Revolution, Avante! had a major role among the working class, supporting the revolutionary changes. After those years, the paper lost influence, but has still a major influence among the workers, mainly in Lisbon, Setúbal and Alentejo.
