People of the world are not taking Chairman Gonzalo’s death lying down

Demonstrations protesting the killing the death in custody of Chairman Gonzalo are encompassing many parts of Europe. Streets of Hamburg, Rome, Paris or Amsterdam were swept with the power of a torrent. Their intensity have made the rulers world over tremble, who patronised his murder. Most encouraging witnessing the participation of youth whose anger simmered at a boiling point. They attracted many a democrat, who were even non-marxists.Today virtually all the European ruling parties endorse globalisation which blessed the very regime in Peru today. Echoes of the time of death of Che Guevera simmered, with an intensity of a tsunami raging in the hearts of the participants. Numbers were no so large but qualitatively they delivered a striking  blow to embarrass the opressors.Sadly in India no demonstration was organised although a very progressive statement was given by the C.P.I.(M.L)New Democracy.

Very progressive and balanced statements were also given by the National Democratic Font of the Philippines and the Communist Party of Phillipines.Such statements even if not supporting Gonzalo thought or that the Peruvian revolution was on the verge of victory ,upheld the contribution of Gonzalo towards people’s liberation. The CPP infact even pointed the major errors pf PCP claiming they were in stage of strategic equilibrium and combining urban insurrections to the peoples war in the rural areas. Even the Nepalese Communist Party gave a most constructive statement.

Impactful protests were also staged in Chile. Brazil and Tunisia. A democratic front must be formed worldwide to condemn his assassination.

No doubt the International Communist Movement must extricate itself from ecclectical, tendencies of upholding Gonzalo thought as universal or protracted peoples war as universal, but we must applaud the collective resistance for waging battle against neo-fascist murderers in the very core. It reminds us of the days of the late 1960’s during the protests against Vietnam war or Paris Student movement. They crystallise seeds for a new epoch to be written or a spark turning into a Prairie Fire.
