Communist Party of Venezuela – PCV Political Declaration
Continuous Firmness In The Combat For Peace And Progress
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Venezuela considers that despite the recent Peace victory an imperialist instigation plan is developing in an accelerated way and it has several elements from the domination perspective. One of them is related to the acute crisis faced by the American economy and the domination political system, which historically has demonstrated that capitalism in its monopolist stage, tries to solve its crises by unburden on the people the reasons causing said crises and one way to do this is activating its military complex through war and aggression to those peoples.
The aggression executed through the Colombian government and army in the Ecuadorian territory is an action of Imperialism in its efforts to jeopardize the humanitarian exchange and the search for Peace.
Therefore we positively evaluate the Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela Presidents performance, who proceeded firmly but with prudence as well to momentarily dismantle the development of an immediate war.
The result of the Rio Summit sends a firm unified message of the Latin American and Caribbean countries to the war policy of the United Status of America imperialism and to the Colombian oligarchy, defending the sovereignty and rejecting the external interference as well as any other form of aggression.
Among the sceneries currently in Venezuela, where the murderous, instigator and destabilizing aim of imperialism and its subservient continental oligarchy is focused and activates its counterrevolutionary strategy, there is the borders instigation promoted by the government of George W. Bush in complicity with Venezuelan sectors to move from the borders towards the central states of our country with the Colombian army participation within an expansion strategy, particularly to the popular areas and the oil industry jeopardizing our internal security.
Within this context the COLOMBIA PLAN now called PATRIOTIC PLAN, is conceived. Its objective is to expand confrontation to the other countries specially those called Andean countries, which are the centre of strategic deployment to dominate the Caribbean Sea basin and all the Amazonia.
Based on what is previously stated we do declare:
First.- We do condemn the military intrusion of the Colombian Army Forces and government against the Ecuadorian territory, as well as the assassination of comrade Commander RAUL REYES, member of the FARC-EP National Secretariat, of the guerrilla fighters who accompanied him as well as the civilians who were at the crime scene.
Second.- The FARC-EP, are the expression of the Colombian people legitimate defence in front of a political regime which has kept that country in dirty war since the assassination of the liberal leader JORGE ELIECER GAITAN on April 9, 1948.
Third.- We do demand the acknowledgement of the Beligerant Force of the FARC-EP and other expressions of the Colombian armed struggle and do reject their denomination as terrorist because insurgent forces of a country which develops superior forms of struggle to fight for Peace, national and socialist freedom against forces practicing estate terrorism and other domination forms against the people, can not be conceptualized as terrorist.
Fourth.- The process of humanitarian Exchange and all related matters, in which our government led by President Hugo Chavez Frias has interceded for as gesture of good will, should be increased including the clearing of Florida and Pradera municipalities in Colombia in order to move forward towards a dialogue among the parts with international presence to put an end to the armed conflict in that country and create the conditions for a political solution with social justice.
Fifth.- We do commit to the peace policies promoted by the Bolivarian revolutionary government at a continental and worldwide level and will actively participate in the development of the next Assembly of the World Council of Peace to be held in Caracas on April 8 through April 13, 2008
Sixth.- We do condemn the unilateralism doctrine that the United States of America wants to impose over the world and particularly by the paramilitary government of Uribe Velez against our countries as expression of the imperialist dominant conceptions through war, ghost jails and extraterritoriality of penal laws
Seventh.-. The political solution of the conflict among Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela does not put an end to the contradictions that originated it, much less the threats from different internal and external flanks against our country promoted by the American imperialism. Therefore we call the attention of all the Latin American and Caribbean peoples, their popular and revolutionary organizations to strengthen the unity, to join around the Bolivarian Continental Coordinator (CCB), space of meeting and articulation for all the resistance, rebelliousness and struggle forms of the countries which have decided to fight against the imperialism and its subservient oligarchies for continental freedom, Peace and socialism.
