Treating historic communist leader Gladys Marin in Chile | News

Fighters of the Chilean Communist Party carried out this Thursday in the public cemetery in Santiago (the capital) an act to replace its historical leader, Gladys Marin, after the mausoleum in which he rested was vandalized by followers of the extreme right-wing presidential candidate Jose Antonio Cast (Christian Social Front) on December 18. .

During the ceremony, the head of the party, Guillermo Tellier, stated that “the Communist Party will never allow its heroes and heroines to be polluted in this way.”

And he added, “We will always remain in our hearts, in our consciences, and in our strength to keep fighting (…) As Gladys said, we will win a thousand times.”

Marin’s family and friends, deputies, advisors, members of the Computer, Communist Youth and other organizations participated in the event.

Last Saturday, on the eve of a poll that confronted Caste with center-left candidate Gabriel Borek (Approval of Dignity), Chile’s eventual president-elect, the computer denounced that Gladys Marin’s grave had been ripped out with lines that read: “Vote 2, Vote Cast.”

In a message broadcast on social media, the organization said: “This demonstrates the despair of the right and their aggressive and intolerant anti-communism, which they used to carry out the coup (September 1973), and now, to intimidate Chileans and Chileans.”

PC rated the event as a “last-minute provocation; for which we call for calm and firm determination to win the elections and defend the votes”.

In addition, he drew the attention of human rights organizations to “this abhorrent discrimination and stigmatization carried out by JA Kast’s campaign against communists”.

The letter ended with enthusiasm “They will not pass,” referring to the fascist podium of Caste, who declared himself an admirer of Chilean putschist general and dictator Augusto Pinochet and expressed his intention to implement measures as part of his government programme. It is neoliberal in nature that will harm people.
