Portuguese Communist Party PCP (Partido Comunista Português)
An American friend of mine was surprised to see the hammer and sickle displayed in Portugal and took the image below.
Rewording Barack Obama's famous catchphrase, the slogan reads "Yes, it's possible."
The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) was founded in 1921 and is Marxist-Leninist in its political outlook. Heavily suppressed under Salazar, the party rebounded after the fall of the dictator and is popular in the Alentejo (where this photograph was taken) the Ribatejo, Lisbon, and Setúbal.

The PCP's main organ is Avante! with print and now online editions. The party has the support of around 7-8% of Portugal's electorate. Jose Saramago, the Nobel Prize-winning writer, was a prominent member.
