Held in the capital's Parque O'Higgins, the event brings together representatives of the left and progressive world every year to discuss the most pressing issues at the international level.
“We reiterate our call to stop the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people, which has cost the lives of more than 23,000 people, especially boys and girls,” CCP President Lautaro Carmona said at the opening of the event.
The political leader welcomed the Chilean government's decision to appeal to the International Criminal Court and demand an investigation into Tel Aviv's crimes in the occupied territories.
Carmona also expressed his condemnation of the inhumane blockade that Washington maintains against Cuba, even though the UN General Assembly has repeatedly rejected this unjust policy.
“Following an imperialist and interventionist logic, the United States has placed Cuba on a list of countries that sponsor terrorism in order to justify its actions against the island and to seek political, economic and social destabilization of the country,” he denounced.
The CCP President reiterated his greetings to Cuba on the 65th anniversary of the triumph of a revolution that has brought much to other peoples, he recalled.
Carmona also expressed solidarity with Ecuador, which is a victim of organized crime and drug trafficking.
The opening of the event was attended by Chilean President Gabriel Boric, ministers, mayors, city councilors, diplomats from several countries, as well as CCP activists and leaders.
In statements to Prensa Latina, the mayor of the municipality of Pudahuel, Ítalo Bravo, recalled that the militants embraced each other at this New Year's celebration, after a long period of struggle, secrecy and persecution by the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973- 1973). 1990).
Then it became a tradition maintained by new generations, and although it was the Communist Party that called, the entire left met here, he said.
