THE Venezuelan Communist Party (PCV) has demanded exhaustive investigations after the killing of two party cadres close to the border with Colombia.
“Less than three months after the murder of communist militant and popular communicator Jose Urbina in Apure, our comrade and PCV social leader Juan de Dios Hernandez has been kidnapped and murdered,” general secretary Oscar Figuera said earlier this week.
The two communists had been active in the same cell in a region where clashes between the Venezuelan and Colombian armed forces have continued for the past year.
