‘Solidarity with the Cuban people’s revolution is our overriding priority,’ international secretary KEVAN NELSON told the Communist Party’s political committee on Wednesday
A YEAR after the democratic government of the MAS-IPSP led by Luis Arce and David Choquehuanca was elected in a reversal of the coup of November 2019, reactionary forces such as the far-right Civic Committee of Santa Cruz with Romulo Calvo and Luis Fernando Camacho, have launched an “indefinite strike” primarily demanding the annulment of Law 1386.
This law was signed by the opposition MPs and protects citizens and their property. It fights against illicit profits, the financing of terrorism, drug trafficking and crimes against humanity such as torture, slavery, people trafficking, assassinations and organ trafficking. Those who oppose this law must be deemed to support these crimes — and this will include the oligarchs who object so strongly to it.
Why does this law hurt the small but corrupt elites so much? Because it goes against their interests — and they want impunity. Camacho’s father owes the state more than £21m in taxes and Luis Fernando Camacho is a tax evader himself. That is why they are against this law.
