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”.
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.
The National Electoral Council (CNE) has presented the ballot card for the presidential elections of next July 28. The face of Nicolás Maduro appears on 13 different cards, that is, one third of those admitted by the electoral body during a process plagued with irregularities and violations to the Constitution and electoral laws.
The process to elect the new male president of the Republic (there are only men in the race) has vertiginously accelerated the increasingly authoritarian and abusive trend that violates the social and political rights of the Venezuelan people; a feature that ─more so than a tailor-made suit─ has become a second skin of the Government of Nicolás Maduro and the leadership of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
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.
"The anti-communist campaign of the social-democratic PSUV government against the CP of Venezuela is further escalating, following the unacceptable decision of the Supreme Court of Justice, which in August 2023 outlawed the CP of Venezuela and recognized a group of paid agents of government representatives in its place.
The contraction of oil revenue has led the PSUV's government to expedite continuous concessions to the bourgeoisie, accompanied by increasing restrictions on the political and labor-union rights of the working class and by intensifying repression of the proletarian resistance.
The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) denounces before the public opinion a new phase of the aggression maintained by the leadership of the Government of Nicolás Maduro and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) aimed at "neutralizing the political action of the legitimate leadership elected by the Venezuelan communists".
These crude maneuvers are not an isolated fact, but are part of a chain of "false flags" aimed at justifying the assault plan executed by the leadership of the Government-PSUV with the objective of legally intervening into the PCV and subordinating it to their interests.
Except from the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), which strongly condemned the decision of the Supreme Court to impose a puppet "leadership" on PCV, more Parties denounce the anti-communist machinations of the PSUV government:
The KKE expresses its internationalist solidarity to the Communist Party of Venezuela and its genuine leadership under General Secretary Oscar Figuera. Among others, the statement titled "Hands Off the CP of Venezuela" reads:
In a statement published on social media, PCV points out:
Just as some 24 hours earlier it was denounced before the national and international public opinion, this action is aimed to usurp the acronym and the legal personality of the Communist Party of Venezuela.
