JOINT COORDINATING GROUP of the International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations September 2008 To the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), and to all Marxist Leninist, revolutionary, antiimperialist and democratic forces of Nepal Declaration of Solidarity with the Workers and People's Masses in Nepal Dear comrades and friends, the Joint Coordinating Group, elected by the 9th International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organizations in 2007, conveys its revolutionary greetings and solidarity to the Nepali people for its historical victory over 240 years of monarchy rule. It is a great encouragement for the working class and broad masses of people in the entire world. After the elections in Nepal which ended with the clear victory of the left wing forces with the CPN(Maoist) at the head, the Constituent Assembly has been formed, that on 28th May abolished monarchy and declared Nepal a democratic federal republic. This event has to be celebrated all over the world, both within the international communist and working class movement, and by all the anti -imperialist , democratic and progressive forces, because it is a victory against imperialism and feudalism. In Resolution Nr. 2 passed by the Conference “The struggle of the International Working Class, the Anti-imperialist Struggles of the Peoples and Marxist-Leninist Party Building” the successes of the 19 day long people’s arising in April 2006 (Janaandolan II) were honoured: “In Nepal the subversion of the king does not yet mean a revolutionary change, but it has improved the prerequisites for the establishment of a new democratic anti-imperialist order with a socialist perspective.” With a solidarity resolution, the 9th International Conference of Marxist Leninist Parties and Organizations recognized and defended the struggle of Nepali people. “The ICMLPO considers important to express its solidarity and give internationalist support to the revolutionary struggle that is developing in Nepal. After 10 years of protracted people's war under the leadership of the Communist party of Nepal (Maoist) – CPN(m), there was reached an agreement among several revolutionary Marxist-Leninist and progressive parties for a united front and a provisional government based on a program to finish up with monarchy and to constitute a Democratic Republic.” It is therefore quite satisfied with the success of such program. In the spirit of this solidarity resolution, the Joint Coordinating Group reaffirms the support expressed in the Resolution of the Conference to the just struggle of Nepali people, and wishes it to advance in the way t has begun, toward democracy, progress and socialism.” With revolutionary greetings, Paolo Babini (Representative for the current main coordinating party in the JCG; CARC, Italy)
