PSUV participated in the debate
South African leader Moses Kotane, former Secretary General of the Communist Party of South Africa, received a well-deserved recognition at an event in which songs from that country were sung to him. A well-deserved tribute like the one once received by the Eternal Commander Hugo Chavez.
In this scenario, Kotane raised the importance of Africanizing Marxism, that is, adapting the essence of the proletarian struggle, the European Paris Commune, to inspire and strengthen the ancestral experience of struggle of the African peoples.
In the Congress it was stated that the objective of all progressive forces is to put people before profits, the environment before private accumulation, and international solidarity before the deepening of inequality and imperial militarism.
In Africa, 50% of the economically active population is unemployed and there are still 14 countries with a vaccination rate of less than 10%, which has been denounced as “vaccine apartheid” because rich countries have overbought vaccines well above the population that these countries need to immunize.
The PSUV also reported that this Saturday, July 16, Solly Mapaila will be acclaimed General Secretary of the South African Communist Party.
