This reactionary, dark step is nothing but part of an imperialist plan aimed at dismantling the Syrian National Movement and aborting any attempt to establish a Democratic National Regime that serves the interests of the people and their working class. By restricting the Progressive Forces, this regime seeks to pave the way for colonial plunder of Syria’s resources and tighten its control over it in the interest of the imperialist powers and their agents in the region.
The Palestinian Communist Party condemns in the strongest terms this unjust and irresponsible decision, and affirms that Marxist-Leninist thought will remain rooted in Syria, and no force will be able to obliterate or eliminate it. The Palestinian Communist Party calls on our Syrian Communist comrades, and all patriots who believe in Syria’s unity and sovereignty, to unite and stand together to confront this fierce attack targeting Syrian Communists, the Syrian people, and their rich, pluralistic culture.
