The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) expresses its deep grief at the passing away of Hugo Chavez Frías, President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Chavez died after battling cancer for nearly two years.
Hugo Chavez was an epic figure who symbolized the radical
transformations taking place in Latin America. He was elected for a
fourth term as President just six months ago with a big margin. The
Bolivarian revolutionary process which he initiated enabled Venezuela to
take control of its destiny by asserting national sovereignty and
control over all the vital resources of the country including oil and
gas. In the one and a half decades of his presidentship, the Venezuelan
people got health facilities, education and literacy as never before.
Poverty was drastically reduced.
Chavez was set on taking his country towards socialism. For this, he
received the mandate of the people by winning successive elections
democratically.
The death of Hugo Chavez is a big blow to Venezuela and for the Left
and progressive forces of Latin America and the world. But his ideas and
the path that he chose for Venezuela will endure.
At this hour of grief, the Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of
India (Marxist) conveys its heartfelt condolences to the daughters and
family members of Chavez, to the entire people and government of
Venezuela.
Long Live Hugo Chavez.
