Amid a national climate of increasing fascist terrorist attacks, a petit bourgeois rebellion in alliance with imperialist forces and opportunist mercenaries looking to “recolonialise the continent,” an increasing domination of reformist, pro-appeasement sectors in government, and continuing economic chaos the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), held its 15th congress at a vital time to both the oil-rich nation and the entire continent in Caracas at the end of June — amid extreme security measures.
The vibrant congress, which culminated six months of internal Leninist debate and democracy at branch, regional and national level, was attended by 387 branch delegates — some of whom had travelled by plane, bus, boat, or mule to be there.
In attendance were also 27 fraternal delegates, 34 international delegates from 25 communist and worker’s parties in 22 countries representing every continent of the globe and 42 messages of solidarity were received from sister parties unable to be present.
