THE Communist Party of Chile has emphasised that “the main reforms of the government, together with the most pressing social urgencies require an active government and active social movements.
“Our actions as a party in this next period must place at its centre the unity of the government with the social movements as the main tool for transformations.”
In view of the social situation caused by severe economic problems, it was pointed out that “we communists do not want these effects to be paid for by the households of working men and women,” and in reference to worrying levels of delinquency and organised crime, “we cannot wait for transformations of a structural nature of the security apparatus where immediate responses are required.”
