The Communist Party supported the coup d'état in Uruguay

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 SovietUnion, 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, NorthKorea, 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 VelascoAlvarado.

Velasco's government in Peru, led entirely by military chiefs, allied with the Soviet Union, attacked private property, and censored independent media.

The PCU dreamed of a military dictatorship similar to the Peruvian one.

Coup DNA

When the coup occurred in Uruguay on June 27, 1973, the PCU supported it, thinking that a Peruvian-style government would come to Uruguay.

Subsequently, they saw that this situation did not occur in Uruguay, and the civic-military government installed in 1973 was far from the Peruvian case.

Frauds since 1985

With the reinstitutionalization of the country in 1985, the communists completely changed their previous discourse.

They disguised themselves as democrats and defenders of human rights, and they have pretended to be opponents of the Uruguayan civic-military government.

But the truth is that the PCU in the early 70s dreamed of a coup d'état, with an authoritarian government that would sweep away private property, persecute opponents, and of course silence the independent press.

Today, in 2025, they are the same totalitarians as always. The same violent anti-democrats who applaud Maduro's tortures and defend the Cuban tyranny that has been violating Human Rights for 66 years.

The same totalitarians as always

They are the same totalitarianrubble as always. Those who support regimes where life, personal dignity, and individual rights are not respected, and where freedom is violated at all times.

The PCU is a threat to the Rule of Law. In more than a century of political life, they continue to favor sinister totalitarianisms.

They admire genocidal figures like Stalin or Fidel Castro. A danger to peaceful coexistence.
