THE Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) on Sunday accused the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) of attacking it to “neutralise its role in the social struggles” in the country.

The PCV says that the ruling party is attempting to set up a fake communist party to undermine it.

PCV general secretary Oscar Figuera said that “our decision to confront the neoliberal package that the government has imposed, accompanying the struggles of the people, is one of the main reasons why today it wants to attack the PCV.”
