Communist youth meet in Prague
Published Apr 4, 2008 7:43 PM
The Communist Youth Union (KSM) of the Czech Republic held its 8th
Congress on March 22-23 in Prague, meeting under the slogan, “Communists
in the front line in the struggle for the rights of the majority of the youth,
for peace and socialism!”
The congress was held only a few days after the Municipal Court of Prague
supported the Ministry of the Interior in its reactionary decision to dissolve
the organization of the young communists. The Congress of the KSM denounced the
anti-communist and anti-democratic attacks of the state power against the young
communists and has appealed to all the democratic forces to resist these
attacks.
The congress also discussed the activities of the young communists against a
plan to construct a U.S. military base in Czech Republic. The KSM has denounced
this plan from the very beginning and was the first organization to initiate a
public campaign against the base’s possible construction, which included
demonstrations, petitions, debates, meetings, cultural activities, etc. The KSM
says it intends to organize further activities in the struggle against the
military base.
The KSM has also protested the right-wing government’s proposal to
introduce fees for university studies. At the congress the KSM declared defense
of the right for free education one of the group’s priorities.
