The right is seizing the opportunity to direct discontent caused by capitalism toward vulnerable minorities and will continue to fan the flames. The left cannot leave this space unchallenged.

#5Mar#93AniversarioPCV 93rd anniversary of the Communist Party of Venezuela
On March 5, 1931, under the most adverse conditions of persecution and political extermination, the first communist branch was formed in Venezuela. Since then, 93 years of consistent struggle for the definitive emancipation of the working class from the yoke of capital have passed.
The efforts and contributions of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) to the organization of the working people of the city and the countryside for the conquest of political, social and labor rights, constitute deeds of ample recognition that no power can erase from history or from the memory of our people. Nor can the firm and intransigent struggle against imperialism of the Venezuelan communists be hidden.
Venezuela is currently facing one of the most complex crises in its history. It is a new crisis that reveals the profoundly backward character of Venezuelan dependent capitalism and of the corrupt political elite that sustains it by acting with its back to the national interest and completely against the rights of Venezuelan workers.
This reality is aggravated by the unilateral coercive measures of imperialism, with which they have futilely tried to force a change of government and which -together with the openly anti-worker and anti-popular policies of the leadership led by Nicolás Maduro- have led to the impoverishment of the working family and the massive migration of millions of compatriots, whose living conditions have been destroyed, as a consequence.
The PCV reaches its 93rd anniversary facing with firmness and dignity the obscene maneuver of the anti-communist government of Nicolás Maduro that -through an illegal judicial sentence- has handed over the legal status and the electoral ticket of the legendary PCV to a mercenary group that has nothing to do with the dignified communist membership The purpose of this anti-democratic and unconstitutional trick is evident: to prevent the working class from having an electoral option to dispute the positions of the two poles responsible for the national catastrophe we are suffering.
In view of this scenario marked by the pulverization of wages, the criminalization of the workers and popular struggles, the accentuated authoritarianism, the evident regression in democratic liberties and the shameless pact between the leadership of the Government-PSUV, the traditional right wing and Fedecámaras Chamber of Business and Commerce, the PCV’s XVI National Congress agreed to promote the broadest unity of action for the recovery and defense of the violated rights.
We Venezuelan communists have also proposed the regroupment of the revolutionary and anti-imperialist forces to build a genuine alternative to the pact of the elites from the workers’, peasants’ and popular camp.
Consistent with our heroic tradition of struggle and with pride, the communist membership holds the banners of the socialist revolution high.
We continue on our feet: joining forces; organizing struggles!
