After the wave of popular protests and discontent following the announcement of the results of the presidential elections in the country, “in the last two weeks open and simulated dismissals have been executed in public institutions and state enterprises” according to a press statement issued by the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV):

Workers who have openly declared their rejection of the anti-worker and anti-popular management of the Government of Nicolás Maduro and who also have reasonable doubts about the results announced by the National Electoral Council are threatened and persecuted in their workplaces. ... We have news of illegal dismissals and forced resignations in PDVSA, Corpoelec and the health sector.

Nongovernmental organizations have documented more than 1500 detentions after the elections; among the cases there are 200 women and 129 teenagers.

Regarding the recent Law for the Control, Regularization, Performance and Financing of Non-Governmental and Related Organizations, the PCV did not support this project promoted by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) since it is part of the process of consolidation of the authoritarian model personified by the government presided by Nicolás Maduro and his acolytes. This new legal instrument limits the constitutional provision that obliges the State to facilitate the exercise of the right of association that every Venezuelan citizen has.

It is true that imperialism has historically promoted its policy of interference and aggression against the Venezuelan people, using Non-Governmental Organizations as a façade. It is also true that a large number of them are the organized social base of important sectors of civil society.

Many noble causes and activities of the organized civil society will now be affected by the heavy official bureaucracy of controls, inspection, fines, supervisions, audits and other normalization processes in charge of the Ministry of the Interior and Justice.
