Hundreds demonstrated to repudiate Uribe's presence and to support Chávez By Aporrea.org Published 11 Jul 2008

July 11, 2008. – A demonstration of approximately 200 people took place peacefully this Friday at noon in front of the Colombian Consulate, to repudiate President Álvaro Uribe Vélez, on a visit to Venezuela, and his murderous, militaristic policies.

"Uribe paraco," "the people of Bolívar reject your presence," "Uribe fascist and narcoterrorist, " and "Alert: Bolívar's sword is moving through Latin America," were some of the slogans chanted by those present, organized by movements like the Corriente Clasista Unitaria Revolucionaria y Autónoma of the Unión Nacional de Trabajadores , radio station Negro Primero, Unidad Socialista de Izquierda, the Foro Itinerante para la Participación Popular and the Proyecto Nuestra América. The Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV), the Abrebrecha and M-28 movements from the UCV, were also there.

The demonstration was organized through alternative and community media and became public knowledge after President Hugo Chávez, in a ceremony of the Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela in Aragua state last Wednesday, showed that he was annoyed by the presence of the Partido Comunista de Venezuela (PCV) among the organizers of the demonstration.

Regarding that, Oscar Figueira, PCV legislator present on the march, confirmed the party's support for President Chávez and expressed that the party's Central Committee, meeting last Saturday, supports the need of the Venezuelan government to establish relations with
all the world's governments. "The Venezuelan state is obliged to enter into institutional, governmental and state relations with all the world's governments, but we are pointing out as well that is the state's role in international politics, it should also develop relations with popular and revolutionary movements."

"The PCV has the commitment to be in solidarity with all the world's peoples that are struggling for their liberation against imperialism, " Figueira said. "We thought it was correct, on the occasion of Uribe's visit, to accompany all the sectors of the people to express their repudiation of the Uribe government's terrorist and narco-paramilitary conduct against the Colombian people and political and social militants."

They also claimed "the right of all the peoples to use all forms of struggle to defend their rights. Armed struggle does not lose its validity as long as we have not destroyed the control of imperialism and big capital over the world's peoples."
