This January 24, 2025, marks the 30th
anniversary of the death of the leader of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) Jesús Faría. His name is linked to the most important
class struggles of the Venezuelan oil proletariat of the 20th century.
Jesús Faría was born on June 27, 1910, in Borojó, Falcón, in conditions of extreme poverty. In his autobiography Mi línea no cambia, es hasta la muerte
(My line does not change, it is until death), he recalls his childhood
besieged by snakes and vermin. Since he was a child, he worked in
different informal activities to contribute to the sustenance of his
home: he was a fruit and firewood seller, bottle collector, limekiln
maker….
