19th Congress

Greetings from the Communist Refoundation Party of Italy
Dear Comrades,
It´s an honor and a pleasure for me to take part in our brother Communist Party
of India (Marxist)´s 19th congress. I´m here representing my party, the
Communist Refoundation Party of Italy, which is engaged, just like you, in a
very strong fight for international solidarity and for peace, democracy and
socialism.
This is a fight we are now driving, and not alone: in this efforts we are
supported by democratic movements and networks of civil society for freedom and
dignity, in the way opened by the social forum movement, which will be living a
very important event this autumn and where we will have the occasion to move a
step forward in the direction of 21st century socialism.
This is a struggle talking about future: our future and the future of working
class, popular masses and humanity. For this, I think it´s not just a
coincidence, but something giving us hope and strength, the circumstance this
congress is held now, in the time of the Nowruz, which is, as you know better
than me, the ancient feast for the incoming of the spring and for the rising of
new hopes for life and future.
It´s a traditional feast: the occasion for the end of the winter and the opening
of a new season, a spring for life. In this sense, I want to share with you my
feelings your congress will be a special moment and a sort of milestone, not
only for the development of your analysis and your struggle, but also for the
future of the entire left movement in the world. I´m sure of this, since the
growing role India is covering in the world in this phase, either for political
and economic reasons, as one of the main actors in the international community;
and because of the strategic relevance of a continent like Asia, so rich in
implications and contents, suggestions and ideas for the international fight
against imperialism.
Dear Comrades,
I think that your congress, which is preceding our one, as Communist
Refoundation Party, to be held this year, is a great chance for the development
of our fight and to move forward in the direction of the left-network building
and the search for roots and ideas for a 21st Century Socialism. I´m sure we
will go on working together, along side this main direction, for a better future
of peace, democracy and socialism.
