Initiated the debate on the political situation is expected to the most important event since the last meeting of the Central Committee, is the rise of mass movement in the Arab world.
This growth has been evidenced by the overthrow of regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, mercenaries of imperialism. This has led, in turn, increased the mass protests we have witnessed in several Arab nations against schemes linked to imperialism. The Arab national liberation movement, which now occupies a prominent place in the international anti-imperialist liberation movement - as predicted by the eleventh congress of the Syrian Communist Party - is experiencing a significant rise.
After the defeat of U.S. imperialism on Iraqi soil, and the failure in 2006 of Zionist aggression in Lebanon, the masses have overthrown the two symbols of imperialism in Tunisia and Egypt. The revolution of Tunisia and Egypt, despite the differences created by the uniqueness of their circumstances, have toppled two regimes whose loyalty and obedience to imperialism, and its strong links with Zionism, were more than palpable. In turn, the overthrows have served to highlight the tyrannical nature of these regimes, a reality hidden under institutions that sought to give a feeling of apparent normality.
Moreover, it is pertinent to recall that these dictatorships were implemented neoliberal policies dictated by the imperialist centers, reflected primarily in the so-called ES Washington; through the open door policy to the monopolistic activity based on foreign capital and privatization of key economic points, reducing the state's social role and severe blow to the domestic industry through the elimination of state support. These facts have led to a dramatic decline in living conditions of most of the company - including middle class - an increase of social polarization and rising unemployment, especially among the youth sector of the population hostile to measures interests of the people and implemented by the contribution of the bourgeois collaborators, closely associated with monopolies and imperialism, their representatives in power and the state apparatus.
Due to these factors, the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions have become a democratic, class, social and national liberation. Our party has supported from the outset these revolutions and their importance in strengthening anti-imperialist and revolutionary positions worldwide. For us, the events in Tunisia and Egypt are one of the first expressions of the growing mass movement in the twentieth century.
united international imperialism and Zionism local reaction seek a counter-attack that difficult, and ultimately destroy, the progress of the liberation movement Arab national. In this sense, the brutal imperialist aggression by NATO against Libya is its most dangerous in our area. Attack using stratagems working as Security Council resolutions, the Arab League and the symbolic contribution of the reactionary Arab regimes to this war of imperialist aggression. The conviction of our party and the international communist movement, by this attack does not mean that we ignore the actions of the Libyan dictatorship, whose ties and relations with the dirtiest elements of imperialism are merely tangible monopoly since the beginning of the century. However, the claims of imperialism Zionism world are clear, despite empty rhetoric and flimsy pretexts such as "protect civilians."
this war, international power only seeks to divide a country of vast oil wealth in order to control it easily. This strategy is part of a larger project: the creation of a new Middle East amplified version. Under this plan are hiding last wishes of imperialism and Zionism: slavery and total subjugation of the peoples of the region. For this reason, those in favor of freedom both in Arab countries and the rest of the world must condemn this brutal imperialist aggression and fight it by all possible means.
multilateral campaign against the Lebanese national resistance, perpetrated by various groups loyal to imperialism, is now the protagonist in this conflict. The Arab reaction works in the same direction, blowing sectarian slogans in the heart of the revolt. This dangerous weapon only serves the interests of global imperialism and the racist and reactionary forces of the Zionist state.
the same purpose, the imperialist conspiracy in Syria still another of its objectives. Imperial-Zionist threat has many faces, and works side by side with the reactionary Arab regimes, which are extremely media effective in distorting reality and serve the interests of the imperialist powers. Syria is the main obstacle to the creation of this new Middle East amplified. Everyone knows the important role of our nation in supporting resistance movements against imperialism and Zionism in the area.
administration stopped the violent demonstrations that took place in several cities in Syria, especially the unfortunate incidents of Dara. On March 18 there were several clashes between security forces and citizens who raised their claims. The urgency of their demands was the release of some children who had been arrested by the martial law established by the state of emergency. The development of these clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement brought new slogans and a greater presence in the demonstrations that occurred in government jobs and security in the province. The wave of repression used by the authorities to disperse the crowd left several dead and many wounded. This caused the rejection and stress is extended, leading to further unrest. The official press reported the establishment of a commission to investigate these events and the release of detained youths.
From the outset, the reactionary forces have tried to undermine the people's demands introducing their sectarian messages. The confusion and manipulation are the basis of its strategy, which tries to exploit the discontent caused by recent events. Their slogans, which combine the struggle for democracy with sectarian and provocative claims, are mainly directed against the secular and tolerant spirit that has historically distinguished Syrian society.
centers imperialists and reactionary Arab regimes are aware of the importance of the media. In this way, have used their entire arsenal of propaganda to defame and distort the recent developments in Syria. His lies are always reproduced by sources reliable mean nothing to the Syrians. Unfortunately, official media have failed to live up to the circumstances in a decisive moment. In the current context, should have been reliable, and not spread lies. Proper performance of the media would have strengthened the confidence and strength needed to disrupt the plan hatched by the imperial-Zionism.
The Central Committee highlights:
- Their support for the decisions and directives of the leadership of the Baath Arab Socialist Party, whose successful proposals political level put it at the forefront of the conflict. The abolition of the state of emergency and martial law, the proposed draft of a new law on political parties for general debate and amendment of the publications law are claims that had already exposed the Syrian Communist Party both in its policy documents, such as resolutions of the eleventh congress. Our party shared the claims and their implementation considered crucial for the rapid strengthening of the domestic situation.
- is satisfied by the decision to amend the Act 41 of 2004, the contents of which impacted on the properties of the border areas. In turn, welcomes the announcement of a gradual rise salaries of public officials, employees and retirees.
- deemed appropriate by the revision of certain laws which, by its neo-liberal orientation, have contributed to destabilizing national production and the weakening of the public sector, leading to deteriorating living conditions of the masses. These laws only have benefits to operators and groups, more specifically, a bourgeois collaborator. That
- considers it essential to stop these liberal measures, they are harmful to domestic industry and the state of the working masses. Instead, the government would to take steps to improve the economic situation and meet the demands of workers, peasants, civil servants precarious that embody the spirit of the Syrian people honorable.
- That values \u200b\u200bthe importance of focusing on the areas of production to improve the current situation. In this sense, support to agriculture would be key to restore and enhance food production. Support for domestic industry, without any foreign interference, and the emphasis in the public sector would bring real progress to the country. For example, the Electricity Law should be changed, taking out a nationalization of this vital economic sector by the state. Similarly, the Telecommunications Act should be rewritten to prevent the entry of monopolies. It is necessary that all government facilities are covered by private capital nationalized again. Finally, it is imperative to abandon the liberalization of prices, giving the state an active role in this field and restructuring the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Reserves.
- do you consider that to revitalize the economy, an increase of government investment to improve production capacity national. In no case should make the mistake of relying on foreign capital inflows in the country. In this regard it is important to return to a policy of exploitation - exploitation and trade - national oil. On the other hand, it is essential to strengthen the ongoing campaign against corruption in order to stop the collaborationist bourgeoisie, allied with the bureaucratic bourgeoisie seeks to plunder both the state and the people. Regarding this, the expansion of democratic freedoms play a significant role, since all these processes will make the work against corruption more effective. Betting
- these measures on the socio-economic regeneration of our nation and root out the bad apples that grow resentful on our soil. This will increase the honorable steadfastness of our people against the conspiracy of foreign enemies and demonstrate that our main support is the people
- emphasizes the Syrian Communist Party's willingness to work with all forces in the strengthening of the masses and the national resistance in all its forms: political, economic and social. Our motto was and remains: Syria will not live knees!
The failure of various national economies and the subsequent relief measures dictated by the capitalist powers have not finished, after Greece and Ireland is now the turn Portugal. The Central Committee holds that in these circumstances is necessary to increase international solidarity and the implementation of great slogan: "On an international front against imperialism."
