The communists support the positive traits of the foreign policy of the current government and particularly the limitations that it has placed on imperialist capital in Brazil. Simultaneously, they criticize the compromises of the government with the revolutionary forces. “The struggle for agrarian reform and against the increase in the cost of living, the defense of civil liberties, and constitutional reform - these are the next tasks that the Brazilian Communist Party has set for itself,” states the resolution.
