SOLIDARITY MESSAGE FROM THE WORKERS PARTY OF IRELAND TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE WORKERS OF SPAIN FOR THE SPANISH GENERAL ELECTION

Dear comrades,
The Workers Party of Ireland sends warm comradely greetings and solidarity to the Communist Party of the Workers of Spain (PCTE) and wishes the PCTE success in the general election taking place in Spain on 28th April 2019.

The PCTE, a sister party of the Workers’ Party of Ireland in the European Communist Initiative, is participating in this election on a clear class basis under the slogan “For one country for the working class”. The PCTE is contesting this election demanding, as part of a comprehensive programme, full employment and decent working conditions in all sectors; decent housing; universal health and education, exclusively public and free; defence of public services; industry that guarantees the country’s industrial and energy sovereignty and a network of social services that provides for the needs of all.

The PCTE in its programme, through its work and by its unflinching commitment to securing power for the working class, exposes the nature of capitalist exploitation and imperialist barbarity and the reactionary role of NATO and the EU. The Workers Party of Ireland sends best wishes for success to all the Communist candidates and to the Secretary General of the PCTE, Ástor García, for Sunday’s election.
