The imperialists carry out their counterrevolutionary offensive, seeking to crush everything that implies revolution. But revolution is and will be the principal historical and political tendency. These are the requirements for the revolution to advance and triumph. And the general crisis, in which they rot, has been only addressed with palliatives. Therefore, the critical essence of the crisis was not resolved because it is impossible for them to do so.
Inflation is contained and artificially maintained steady so they can present successes.
Unemployment grows every day, wages and salaries keep dropping, taxes and public tariffs are sky-high, and poverty has increased. Facing this crisis, the government distributes its crumbs through its demagogic civic action programs. Poverty has not been reduced at all. Bear in mind that we are in the second half of the decade, and the aggravating of the crisis of bureaucratic capitalism is foreseeable. It is not a coincidence that other former henchmen of Velasco's fascist regime are in the shade of the current government.
