Venezuela

The way forward is for the Venezuelan people themselves

by

The Communist Party of Canada has followed the July 28 presidential election in Venezuela with keen interest – not as detached observers, but as a Party with a history of solidarity with the struggles of the Venezuelan people for sovereignty, democracy, social justice, liberation from imperialist domination and ultimately for a socialist future. We extend our congratulations to the Venezuelan working class and progressive movements for continuing these struggles under the extreme pressure of US imperialism and domestic reaction, which desperately seek one way or another to reverse the revolutionary process initiated by the late President Hugo Chavez.

La fermeture de l’Ambassade du Canada à Caracas marque un pas de plus dans les attaques impérialistes contre le Venezuela

by

La Ligue de la jeunesse communiste et le Parti communiste du Canada dénoncent conjointement la fermeture de l’Ambassade du Canada au Venezuela ainsi que le chantage diplomatique ayant forcé, en corolaire, la Chancellerie du Venezuela, à fermer ses consulats de Montréal, Toronto et Vancouver par mesure de réciprocité.

La ministre des Affaires étrangères, Chrystia Freeland, a justifié cette décision par le fait que le Venezuela empêcherait l’accréditation de certains diplomates. Or, cette décision n’est en rien justifiable d’un point de vue diplomatique. Il s’agit d’une décision purement politique qui vise à s’investir de plus belle dans l’agression multifacétique dont est victime le Venezuela, notamment en diabolisant le gouvernement vénézuélien afin d’éventuellement mieux justifier la nécessité d’intervenir dans ce pays.

The closure of Canada’s Embassy in Caracas: a new stage of imperialist attacks on Venezuela

by

The Young Communist League and the Communist Party of Canada jointly denounce the closure of the Canadian Embassy in Venezuela and the diplomatic blackmail that forced, in corollary, the Chancellery of Venezuela, to close its consulates in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver as a measure of reciprocity.

Foreign Affairs’ Minister Chrystia Freeland justified this decision by saying that Venezuela would refuse the accreditation of certain diplomats. This decision is in no way justifiable from a diplomatic point of view. This is a purely political decision that increases Canadian participation in the multifaceted aggression of which Venezuela is victim. It includes demonizing the Venezuelan government to justify the need to intervene in this country.
