Socialists Discuss Crisis
Caracas - Almost six million Venezuelan
United Socialist Party (PSUV) members began
on Friday a discussion on the world crisis,
as a preparation for an extraordinary
congress of the organization in September.
They started distributing today a document
that gathers aspects like the financial
crisis origin, starting from declining
consumption and investment in developed
countries.
The analysis to be debated over the weekend
by the PSUV grass roots organizations
tackles the slowing down of world economic
activity, which threatens to reach a
magnitude similar to that of the great
depression in the '30s.
The debate will include President Hugo
Chavez' opinions, published in his Sunday
column The Perfect Crisis, which includes
excerpts of the speech by Argentinian
sociologist Atilio Boron, in an event about
globalization and development, held in
Havana, Cuba.
In that analysis, Chavez recommended that
the Venezuelan population "deeply study that
world phenomenon, to help understand
measures proposed by the authorities to face
low oil prices.
According to announcements, the agenda for
the discussion in the assemblies, to be held
on Saturday, March 21, includes reading and
comments about Chavez' Lines and the
beginning of the debate about the document
in relation to the world crisis of
capitalism.
Later, the Venezuelan socialist party
members will analyze the speech by governors
about a recently approved reform to the
Decentralization and Public Power
Transference Law.
The legal changes, approved by the National
Assembly on March 17, allow the government
to regain administration of ports, airports,
and roads that were handed over to state
governors.
The PSUV extraordinary congress will be
preceded by a process to revise the party
political affiliation, and analysis of the
largest Venezuelan political organization's
plans for the coming years. |
