28 years of struggle for socialism. The Union of Democratic Socialists is celebrating its anniversary.
On November 8, the Union of Democratic Socialists (UDS) of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a partner party in the SOVINTERN initiative, celebrated its 28th anniversary. In honor of the anniversary, the national chairman of the party, Crispin Kabsala Chimenga, gave a speech describing the main socio-economic problems of the country and the tasks of the socialist movement. The celebration was held under the slogan "Together for Socialism in the Democratic Republic of the Congo".
In his speech, Comrade Crispin referred to the issues of Congo's economic independence, a fair distribution of the national wealth and the raising of the population's standard of living. He emphasized that true sovereignty must have a political dimension, but also an economic one: "True independence must be measured by our country's ability to feed its population, educate its youth, provide its citizens with medical care, produce the necessary goods and ensure a respectable future for future generations. The UDS must build its activity on the struggle against neo-colonial dependency relations and for international cooperation based on respect for the sovereignty of nations."
The UDS consistently adheres to the ideals of socialism and advocates for social justice, economic sovereignty and a dignified life for the people of the DRC. We greatly appreciate the party's contribution to the development of the SOVINTERN international socialist network, its initiative and its active participation in strengthening the ties between progressive forces in different countries.
Congratulations to our UDS friends on the occasion of the party anniversary! We wish you further success in your work, new achievements and broad support among the people!
