The Puerto Rico Socialist Front salutes the birth of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and demands that our fellow countries that are committed to the cause of the decolonization, independence, unity and integration of our peoples, make possible the presence of a delegation of the Puerto Rican people in struggle for their self-determination and independence, as observers of the summit meeting of chiefs of state and government. The Puerto Rico Socialist Front is committed with the transcendental creation of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, realization of the dream of Simon Bolivar, who already in 1815 was announcing in his Jamaica Letter, in which he presented his emancipatory project in favor of the unity of the Caribbean and Latin American states. We enthusiastically salute this historical event but we must point out without room for doubt, as was done in the Amphictyonic Congress in Panama (1826) the need to support all initiatives for the independence of Cuba and Puerto Rico. Cuba is already free and sovereign. Puerto Rico continues in tireless struggle for its national liberation. The Puerto Rico Socialist Front reaffirms itself in the petition made by the delegation of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, approved by unanimity in the plenary of the seventeenth meeting of the Foro de Sao Paulo on May 20 2011 in the city of Managua (Nicaragua) where it says regarding the creation of CELAC: "We demand the inclusion of Puerto Rico in that organization as a way of furthering the struggle to obtain full recognition of its right to national sovereignty." We equally reaffirm ourselves in the Bicentennial Declaration of Venezuela's independence made at the meeting of the Foro de Sao Paulo Working Group in the city of Caracas on July 4 2011, where it says: "The organizations present in the Foro de Sao Paulo, committed to the cause of decolonization, self-determination and independence, unity and integration of our peoples, ratify the accord of the Seventeenth Encounter celebrated in Managua (Nicaragua) in the days May 18 to 20 2011, through which fellow countries that constitute government in Latin America and the Caribbean are called on to make efforts in their respective foreign ministries to assure the participation of a delegation of the Puerto Rican people in their struggle for self-determination and independence, as observers in the meeting of chiefs of state and government called for to constitute the CELAC. We support the people and government of Argentina in their peaceful struggle for the decolonization of the Malvinas Islands". Last of all, the Puerto Rico Socialist Front reaffirms its commitment to this transcendental endeavor in the life our Latin American and Caribbean peoples, but this effort will not conclude until the colonial infamy is ended in Puerto Rico, Aruba, Martinique and the Malvinas Islands. Let us not forget that while colonialism exists in Latin America, all of CELAC's goals will be under constant threat especially with regards to the independence of action, defense of the interests of the peoples, and democracy in all of the hemisphere's countries. |
