THOUSANDS of people gathered in Berlin at the weekend to mark 99 years since the murders of communist leaders Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.
Communists attending the 23rd International Rosa Luxemburg Conference — organised by German socialist newspaper Junge Welt — also reaffirmed their solidarity with Venezuela’s Bolivarian revolution and issued a declaration urging the EU and US to end their interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs.
It said Venezuela had taken the path of independence from the influence of the imperialist powers to unify the other nations of Latin America and the Third World.
