Chavez’s Historic Call for a Fifth Socialist International by Federico Fuentess

Posted by ac on November 29th, 2009

Fifth International April 2010.
“In front of 772 delegates elected from the grassroots in an unprecedented process involving close to a million party militants, he requested that the proposal be included in the agenda of the Congress:

I call on this First Extraordinary Congress of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela to include, in its agenda for debate, the proposal to convene political parties and currents to create the Fifth Socialist International as a new organization that fits the time and the challenge in which we live and that can become an instrument of unification and coordination of the struggle of peoples to save this planet.

The Congress, which will last until April 2010, the month that the founding congress of the Fifth International has been set for, will now discuss the proposal. This discussion “must go out to the people, to the social organizations and other forms of popular power in the country,” according to the plan proposed by Chavez. “
