The Communist Party of Uruguay (PCU), founded in 1920, was always totalitarian, anti-democratic, and supported dictatorships that violated Human Rights.
When it was founded in 1920, it emerged as a satellite of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which was beginning to govern in that now-defunct country.
Subsequently, the PCU supported all the communist totalitarian regimes in the world.
Like those of China, North Korea, and of course Cuba since 1959.
Defenders of dictatorships
The PCU has always defended the most sinister totalitarian dictatorships around the planet.
More recently, they support Venezuela and Nicaragua. Last year when Nicolás Maduro committed the mega electoral fraud, the PCU expressed direct support for the electoral farce.
1973 Coup
The PCU expressed support for certain military actions in February 1973, interpreting them as potentially progressive.
At that time, the Armed Forces issued the famous communiqués 4 and 7, which implied a draft government plan in case the military came to power in Uruguay.
The PCU without hesitation supported the military communiqués and promoted coup actions through its party press.
Even its main leaders met with military hierarchs to promote a Peruvian-style coup d'état.
At that time, "Peruvianism" referred to the military government of that Andean country governed by Gen. Juan Velasco Alvarado.
