Delegations from several countries of Europe and Latin America met
in Buenos Aires to create the Network of anticapitalists. This
network discussed and reached common conclusions regarding the
worldwide panorama, and tasks proposed for the international
revolutionary groups. This international encounter led to the
conformation of this international anticapitalist network of groups
and parties.
Some of the international participant organizations were the
Socialist Movement of Argentine Workers, Marea Socialista of
Venezuela, the Chilean Anticapitalist Movement, The Paraguay
Socialist Alternative, The French Commune, Socialist and Freedom of
the Spanish State and the Green Party of Belarus.
Marea Socialista from Venezuela presented a report that led to a
forum on the current events in Venezuela. A joint declaration was
reached by the beforementioned political organizations.
Declaration on
Venezuela
Venezuela suffers its sharpest crisis in the 20th and 21st
century. While the U.S. Government poses threats and interventionist
practices, the Venezuelan government policies hides its inefficiency
behind the U.S. Empire ambitions.
The hyperinflation runs without
control, dismantling every political, economic and social
accomplishments; besides, there is a social and services collapse,
and there are generalized repressive practices.
The autoritarism
grows rapidly and there is a permanent state of exeption. There is also,
abandonment, and the replacement of every previous legality,
includying the dismantling of the Bolivarian Constitution of 1999 and
its replacement with alleged “Constitutional decrees”. Framed
within this context, the Venezuelan people are sinking in misery, and
threatened by an unprecedented sanitary crisis. Venezuela is
currently suffering of a forced migration of massive sectors of its
population in the first “forced diaspora” of millions of
Venezuelans in the 21st Century in South America, too.
Venezuela not only suffers from U.S. interventionist threats and practices, but also from failed policies by the Venezuelan government that excuse behind the U.S. agenda. Before this situation:
We condemn and reject any
form of interference, interventionism, sabotage, blockade or
aggression by the U.S. imperialism, against Venezuela in its different
variants, especially any measure or economic sanction that may
violate the country's right to export its products or that may
prevent it from obtaining food and medicines for the people, as well
as inputs for production.
We also repudiate the requests of sectors
of the Venezuelan right-wing opposition that encourage a foreign
intervention against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela or that
promote concerted actions against the Venezuelan economy.
2
We
denounce the authoritarian, repressive and stateless course that
the government of Nicolás Maduro has been adopting, through the
usurpation of powers and with the imposition of a fraudulent National
Constituent Assembly, without consulting the Venezuelan people and
with the evident purpose of introducing new counter-reforms that add
up to those already applied, which imply: setbacks with respect to
what has been achieved in terms of democratic liberties, civil rights
and sovereignty; as well as the sacrifice to which the Venezuelan
people are subjected as a result of the embezzlement of the nation in
function of the interests of the bureaucracy, of the debt and
business system with global capitalism and the deepening and violent
expansion of a wild extractivism whose The most evident sample is the
so-called Orinoco Mining Arc.
3
On the other hand, in view of
the increasing authoritarianism and deterioration of the democratic
life that is experienced in the country, which affects not only the
sectors of the traditional opposition, but also the so-called
"critical chavismo" already extended social sectors and
workers that they try to exercise their right to protest and to act
politically; we demand the cessation of persecutions, dismissals,
arbitrary imprisonment, political crimes and violation of rights, and
we demand the reinstatement of free democratic development and the
restoration of the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of
Venezuela sanctioned in 1999.
4
In order to favor the
liberation and recovery of economic resources to overcome the crisis
and address the humanitarian emergency, we support the proposal of a
Public and Citizen Audit, independent and with full power of
development, to investigate the allegations of embezzlement. nation
and the strong indications of a corrupt and illegitimate debt, as
well as the criminal flight of capital to international banks and tax
havens, with the aim of returning these resources to the Venezuelan
people and earmarking them as a priority for the relief of their
situation and the recovery of the internal production. It is the
Venezuelan people and not the foreign powers for their particular
purposes, who has the right to punish their corrupt officials
5
We
advocate for international solidarity support for the Venezuelan
people who, within the framework of respect for sovereignty, can
contribute to solving the food and health emergency or to meet
humanitarian needs. And, before the diaspora of Venezuelans and
Venezuelans, caused by the policies of the government of Nicolás
Maduro, the crisis of which he is one of the main responsible, and by
the political conditions that have been generated in the country, we
deplore the indolence and contempt with which the government treats
the victims of this situation and we also call for the broadest
solidarity and defense of the rights of those who are impelled to
emigrate to other countries. We do this in order to help them and
guarantee the best possible conditions regarding receptivity, rights
and living conditions in the countries of destination.
Likewise, we demand from the Venezuelan government the adoption of all measures leading to the cessation of the conditions that cause such an exodus. And we emphatically reject the measures of the state bureaucracy leading to deprive the families of Venezuelan emigrants of aid remittances, either through mechanisms of change that are outside the real values or other formulas of capture and confiscation of the resources of such remittances (such as the tax announced by the Vice President of the PSUV), while, in contrast, the capital escaped and those derived from embezzlement and corruption are not punished.
In the face of the upcoming presidential elections and state legislative councils, we accompany the electoral policy of Socialist Tide of participating with the vote in the presidential elections, without giving up in the denunciation of the insufficiency of guarantees and of the manipulated conditions in which it is carried out. We do so from an independent standpoint against the candidacies of the bureaucracy and capital, in opposition to any resulting government, which represents such interests and intends to continue the unloading of the crisis on the working class and the popular sectors, either with the classical ones neoliberal formulas, awakening the illusion of a magical solution through dollarization, or under the false flags of a revolution that has been betrayed and dismantled by the Maduro-PSUV government.
