\"\"<\/a>Venezuela is experiencing an extremely serious period due to the\u00a0attempt of its oligarchy to force a coup d\u00e9tat, openly sponsored by\u00a0Yankee imperialism and its allies, taking advantage of the deep\u00a0economic and social crisis that the country is experiencing and the\u00a0weakness of the Maduro Government.\u00a0\u00a0Behind this new attempt is the US, which has always considered Latin\u00a0America and the Caribbean as its back yard. The list of reactionary coups sponsored by Yankee imperialism and its partners is endless.<\/p>\n

Throughout the second half of the 20th century and up to today, the\u00a0imperialist hand has been behind a long series of violent protests that\u00a0have caused immeasurable suffering to the working class and fraternal peoples: Brazil and Bolivia\u00a0(1964), Peru (1968) , Chile and Uruguay (1973), Argentina (1976), Paraguay (1989), Haiti\u00a0(2004), etc., are some examples. The imperialist army itself intervened directly in Cuba (Bay of\u00a0Pigs, 1961), the Dominican Republic (1965-66) and Panama (1989).<\/p>\n

Today, the worsening of the capitalist crisis is causing the sharpening of the commercial,\u00a0political and also military struggle among the great imperialist powers to gain spheres of\u00a0influence. They have never left Colombia, and in Chile, Argentina, etc., the most reactionary\u00a0right-wing that is submissive to Yankee orders is again occupying the governments, taking\u00a0advantage of the profound contradictions that have ended up overturning the experiments of\u00a0social transformation led by the reformist bourgeoisie, which in no case put in question the\u00a0power of the national oligarchies.<\/p>\n

However, despite the serious contradictions of the extensive reformist movement that promised a\u00a0new direction for the Latin American laboring classes from one end of the subcontinent to the\u00a0other, without actually changing the power structure in their countries, what is at stake now is the\u00a0submission of the brotherly peoples to the dictates of US imperialism, their submission to the\u00a0Yankee boot, and the imposition of the stark dictatorship of capital over all of them.\u00a0\u00a0No, it is not Bolsonaro, Macri, Pi\u00f1era, Duque or Guaid\u00f3 who will bring social justice and peace\u00a0to the region; its objective is different: to put an end to the dreams of the small and middle\u00a0bourgeoisie and to re-impose the open dictatorship of capital. The example of Cuba proves that it\u00a0is only possible to sustain social changes when the instruments of control of the economy are\u00a0snatched from the oligarchy, and only insofar as they are subjected to popular control.\u00a0\u00a0In Spain, monarchist governments have never been neutral with respect to Venezuela: the friendship between\u00a0Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez and the champion of corruption, Carlos Andr\u00e9s P\u00e9rez, who led the privatization\u00a0of Venezuelan public enterprises causing a social crisis with dramatic consequences, had its\u00a0continuity in the support of the Aznar Government for the Military Coup attempt that Venezuela\u00a0suffered in 2002. Nor are they neutral n these dramatic hours that the Venezuelan people are\u00a0going through.<\/p>\n

We Spanish workers cannot, therefore, be neutral. The statement of the reactionary Minister of\u00a0Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, subjecting the position of the monarchist state to the decision of\u00a0the EU, negates once again the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people and sanctifies the\u00a0imperialist interference in the affairs of that brother country, in order to leave its people alone to\u00a0face the forces of reaction and imperialism. For his part, the reactionary national leader Casado,\u00a0President of the PP [People\u2019s Party, Spain], who a few weeks ago offered Trump the use of\u00a0Spanish soil as a permanent base for the Southern Command and African Command of the\u00a0Yankee army, has declared his full support for the reactionary coup in progress, expressly\u00a0requesting imperialist intervention in the internal affairs of Venezuela. The declarations of these\u00a0and other servants of capital aim to give a veneer of legitimacy to what is nothing but a new\u00a0interference by Yankee imperialism.<\/p>\n

We must fight this new attempt at a reactionary coup and express our solidarity with the\u00a0Venezuelan workers and people, whom they want to subject once again to the dictates of\u00a0imperialism and the open dictatorship of their corrupt oligarchy.\u00a0\u00a0Our Party expresses its full support to the Venezuelan workers, to the revolutionary\u00a0organizations and, in particular, to our sister party (Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of\u00a0Venezuela \u2013 PCMLV), which under the harshest conditions is promoting a real change that\u00a0guarantees popular control of the State.<\/p>\n
