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.”
The global left must be unwavering in it is support for Venezuela as Washington increases its aggression, and clear-eyed about the West’s cynical motives for targeting it, says CLAUDIA WEBBE
Western nations’ increasingly aggressive stance is not prompted by any increase in security threats against these countries — rather, it is caused by a desire to bring about regime changes against governments that pose a threat to the hegemony of imperialism, writes PRABHAT PATNAIK
