"With his departure, we lose a man of firm principles and proven integrity, who devoted his life to the ethical practice of journalism. Walter Martínez knew how to bring peoples closer to events as they unfolded, offering a rigorous, committed, and deeply human perspective on international reality.
The Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) demanded that the government leadership provide clear and transparent explanations regarding the presence in the country of the Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), John Ratcliffe, whom it described as “a nefarious figure for the peoples of the world,” and whose visit — the Party denounced — has not been officially communicated to the Venezuelan people.The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected by the 16th National Congress, November 2022) denounces before the country and the international community that, since the early hours of January 3, the city of Caracas and other areas of the central region of the country have been subjected to bombardments carried out by military forces of the United States of America.
As 2025 draws to a close, a year marked by the worsening of the national crisis and the dangerous escalation of imperialist aggression, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (elected at the 16th National Congress in November 2022) addresses the working class, the Venezuelan people—both within and beyond our borders—and the revolutionary and democratic forces of the world to warn of the magnitude of the threats to our sovereignty and to reaffirm a principled position in the face of the projects that today dispute the destiny of the country.
The recent statements by US President Donald Trump fully confirm the warnings made by the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV): Washington’s aggression against Venezuela and the Caribbean is not a response to a supposed fight against drug trafficking or the defense of democracy, but rather part of an imperialist offensive of recolonization aimed at appropriating our nation’s natural resources, territories, and strategic assets.
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.
The renewed U.S. aggression against Venezuela cannot be understood in isolation. It is not simply an episode of Washington’s unilateral hostility against a disobedient government. Rather, it is part of the broader inter-imperialist struggle that defines our epoch — a world order increasingly marked by the fierce rivalry between the U.S.-led imperialist bloc and the rising powers of Russia and China. Venezuela, with its vast oil reserves and strategic position in Latin America, has become a focal point in this global contest for domination, resources, and influence.

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.
In the interview, which you can read below, Figuera refers to the recent primary victory of Communist Party of Chile's candidate Jeannette Jara, as well as to the position of the Chilean comrades on the situation in Venezuela:
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.
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

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.
