08-21-20.-The secretary general of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), Óscar Figuera, indicated that his organization’s priority is to demand a change in the country’s economic policy, which has led to the precariousness of wages and the detriment to the quality of life of citizens.
“In Venezuela there is no socialism (…) what there is is dependent and rentier capitalism that is in deep crisis,” he said during an interview on Unión Radio.
He announced that the PCV, together with the Patria Para Todos (PPT) and Tupamaro parties, is on the way to building what they have called the “Popular Revolutionary Alternative”.
“We are building a force that will become a benchmark in the struggles of the Venezuelan people, against the aggression of imperialism and against the insurgency of the submissive reformism, which today exercises the leadership of the Venezuelan political and social process in a preponderant way,” he stressed.
Figuera notes that for the moment they have not held any kind of conversation with the national president, Nicolás Maduro, to find out if he will be part of this integration of three parties that in previous times were part of the ruling party, but that are currently in disagreement with the national policies imposed by the Central Government.
“We totally disagree with the policies that the government of President Maduro has been applying nationally (…) And if the government is not willing to change them, there will be no possibility of us going together to these elections of the National Assembly (AN).”
The political leader commented that the PCV is still part of the Great Patriotic Pole (GPP), as a meeting point for the different currents. “If some want to decide that we are no longer there, they are the ones who throw us out, we are not the ones who have left.”
