“We are witnessing a completely unbridled imperialism, which has been capable of kidnapping the president of Venezuela and threatening to bomb that country again,” Amoros told Prensa Latina during his participation in the Fiesta de los Abrazos (Festival of Embraces).

  He stated that this event, convened by the Communist Party of Chile (PCCh) and where many gather to talk and debate, is a first step in showing on the current situation.

“In the midst of this bewilderment, we have to know where we are going, to a new era marked by the military hegemony of imperialism, and there has to be a response,” he said.

Amoros presented his book, “Gladys Marin: A Revolutionary Life,” at the Fiesta de los Abrazos (Festival of Embraces).

The biography tells the story of the former congresswoman, secretary

general, and president of the Communist Party of Chile (PCCh), and the first woman to run for president of the Republic.

“She had the capacity to give everything in the fight against the dictatorship of (Augusto) Pinochet. That is to say, although she could have remained in exile, she fought to return to Chile and here she led the clandestine leadership of the Party,” he remembered.

The book was presented in Plaza de las Letras Volodia Teitelboin, at an event attended by the president of the PCCh, Lautaro Carmona, and the leader of the Communist Youth, Catalina Lufin. This year’s Fiesta de los Abrazos had the theme “The struggle for peace and against imperialist aggression.”
