27th International Seminar "Political Parties
and the New Society"
in Mexico City
Need for Anti-imperialist Struggle, Regional Integration and World Peace Reaffirmed
From October 5 to 7, the 27th International Seminar "Parties and a New Society" was held in Mexico City. The seminar is organized annually by Mexico's PT (Workers' Party), which this year celebrates the 50th anniversary of its founding. This year's seminar brought together representatives from over 41 countries around the world, with over 270 international and 370 national delegates, including participants from 29 of Mexico's 32 states. More than 112 political parties and organizations were present, including a delegation of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist). Delegations from the embassies of Cuba, Vietnam, China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela took part in the deliberations, in addition to a large delegation from Palestine.
On October 5 on behalf of
CPC(M-L), Christine Dandenault presented an important
intervention entitled End of History Vision and Our Argument
for the New which was very well received.
Throughout the seminar, participants discussed the challenges facing the peoples of the world with comprehensive information provided on the matters of most urgent concern. These exchanges led to the adoption of 26 resolutions, including those in support of the peoples of Colombia, Peru, Syria, Guatemala and El Salvador, among others. Unwavering support for Cuba, its government and its people was reaffirmed, as was the demand for an end to the despicable U.S. blockade of Cuba, and support for the One Million Signatures petition to have Cuba removed from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism. Delegates strongly opposed the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine, and took an immediate and unanimous stand on October 7 in support of the Palestinian people, their right to self-determination and their right to be. They also denounced the UN Security Council resolution in favor of military intervention in Haiti, led by Kenya.
The 28th International Seminar will take place in Mexico City from October 10 to 12, 2024.
