Unión Proletaria (Spain)
On this date of profound historical significance, we extend our fraternal and revolutionary greetings to the heroic people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), to its political leadership, and to the forces that steadfastly uphold the banners of Juche socialism, the sole guarantee of national dignity.
The history of the Korean Peninsula stands as a living testament to unbreakable resistance. After the end of the Second World War, which left the country devastated by Japanese occupation and plunder, the DPRK made the historic and irrevocable decision to choose the path of socialism. In the face of attempts at assimilation and subjugation, the Korean people chose to build a socialism with its own distinctive characteristics. This decision did not come without sacrifice: it meant enduring decades of a criminal economic, financial, and commercial blockade, together with constant military and diplomatic harassment by the imperialist bloc, whose sole objective has been to suffocate Korean socialism, the only guarantee of sovereignty and independence in contrast to the occupied and assimilated South Korea.
However, recent history has shown that the determination of peoples and of the socialist system is stronger than coercive measures. Since 2023, the world has witnessed what is now emerging as a true economic miracle despite the total economic blockade imposed by imperialism. In a context of maximum international pressure, the DPRK has achieved a remarkable rebound in its growth indicators, an unprecedented boost in its industrial sector, urban development, and consolidated social rights, while these are being rapidly eroded throughout the imperialist bloc. This economic upsurge demonstrates that socialism is not merely a choice, but the material foundation that guarantees sovereignty, achieves stability and technological modernization in the service of the people, improving their living conditions with the constant aim of cooperating with others—even with enemies—but never capitulating.
Today, in the face of the evident decline of the Western imperialist bloc, the desperate ambitions of the hegemonic powers led by the United States openly threaten global stability and even the very survival of humanity through militarism and constant provocation. In the face of this imminent danger, it has become imperative to strengthen and consolidate the strategic alliance among the DPRK, the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the nations of the Third World. In short, this means uniting all the forces that fight against imperialism by defending multipolarity and respecting the sovereignty of every nation in the world, regardless of its political or ideological system.
In the rear of imperialism, we communists must strive to help the rest of the working people understand these truths, and we firmly adhere to the World Anti-imperialist Platform as the global organization capable of coordinating these efforts among all revolutionary detachments, drawing lessons that make it possible to correct mistakes and replicate successes.
Long live the DPRK!
Long live socialism and the national liberation struggles of oppressed nations!
Fraternal greetings to Kim Jong Un, his government, the Korean People’s Army, and the Korean people.
