1921’de Komünist Enternasyonal’in Portekiz Şubesi olarak kurulan işçi sınıfı arasında en büyük etkiye sahip olan Estado Novo rejimine muhalefet sürecinde muhalif bir şekilde rol aldı. Karanfil Devrimi’ni izleyen yıllarda en etkili partilerden biri olduktan sonra, Doğu Bloku’nun yıkılmasından sonra güç tabanının çoğunu kaybetti, ancak Portekiz toplumunun, özellikle Alentejo’nun kırsal kesimlerinde popülerliğini hala seviyor Ribatejo ve ayrıca Lizbon ve Setúbal çevresindeki yoğun sanayileşmiş bölgelerde. Aynı zamanda en büyük Portekiz işçi sendikası - Portekiz İşçilerin Genel Konfederasyonu (CGTP) arasında büyük bir etkiye sahiptir. Tarihsel lideri Álvaro Cunhal oldu.
