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.
