As a member of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), he says that respect for human, political, and social rights should not be sacrificed in the name of defending national sovereignty.
Pedro Eusse, a member of the Political Bureau of the PCV, said that the information was first disclosed through foreign media and not through official channels in the country. "It is alarming that agreements of this magnitude are disclosed through informal channels and are not subject to public scrutiny," Eusse warned.
An interesting debate has opened up in the prestigious online media outlet LINKS International Journal of Socialist Renewal regarding the character of the Venezuelan government and the position organisations and intellectuals belonging to the popular and left camp should adopt towards it. We, the Partido Comunista de Venezuela (Communist Party of Venezuela, PCV), believe it is necessary to participate in this debate, not only because we have been mentioned, but because we are convinced of the need to speak the truth about the economic, social, and political situation in Venezuela, and confront manipulations and deceptions that distort objective reality.
Venezuela’s regional and parliamentary elections held on May 25 took place in a deeply undemocratic context, characterized by marked institutional opacity, particularly with regard to the criteria for the creation of the new electoral district corresponding to Guayana Esequiba; the absence of guarantees for political organizations and the electorate; the imposition of authoritarian political controls by the PSUV government elite; as well as a series of actions that demonstrate the systematic dismantling of the constitutional and legal framework.
“The PCV, throughout its history, has faced, has stood up, has resisted the offensive of imperialism against our country and this is not going to be a different situation: we Venezuelan communists are in favor of the defense of the sovereignty of our homeland,” declared Neirlay Andrade, member of the Political Bureau of the PCV.
The diversity of positions before concrete problems on the part of Communist Parties over the last decades is an expression of the worst crisis of the labor movement since it saw the light of day in 1831. The case of the last presidential elections in Venezuela, of course, has also been the object of controversy. More than a few have declared their support for the “victory” of Nicolás Maduro and, without further ado, present it as an “anti-fascist” and “anti-imperialist” triumph. But, what is the nature of Maduro’s discourse?
In a press statement issued by the Political Bureau of the PCV, it was reported that “in the last two weeks open and simulated dismissals have been executed in public institutions and state enterprises”.
"Dear Comrades
Receive fraternal greetings. Please find enclosed a report and analysis by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of our Party on what happened in the presidential elections of July 28 and subsequent developments.
The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) calls on the genuinely democratic, popular and patriotic forces to join forces to defend the will of the Venezuelan people that expressed itself this Sunday, July 28 with a clear intention of political change in the country.
We alert international public opinion that just as the government of Nicolás Maduro has stripped the Venezuelan people of their social and economic rights, today it intends to deprive them of their democratic rights.
On Sunday, July 28, elections will be held to elect the president of Venezuela. In light of this, we would like to express the following:
– Contrary to what government propaganda spreads, these elections in Venezuela have a profound anti-democratic character, among other things, for deliberately preventing revolutionary parties and forces from registering candidates.
