PARTI COMMUNISTE POPULAIRE

Public interest as a political commitment

The Parti communiste populaire places public interest at the centre of its political work in Switzerland. The PCP supports China’s development path and recognises the role of the Communist Party of China in the country’s transformation. It studies Chinese strengths in planning, productive investment, infrastructure, science and public services, and develops proposals that work within Switzerland’s existing institutions.

Housing, healthcare, income and dependable public services are central to the Party’s programme. The PCP connects these questions with the investment, skills and productive capabilities needed to sustain them. Each policy sets out a position, practical measures, implementation conditions and the evidence needed to assess results.
