Communist Party of Mexico Organises March to Mark the Anniversary of the October Revolution
The Communist Party of Mexico (Partido Comunista de México, PCM) organised a march in Mexico City on 7 November, marking the 109th anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917 and raising demands concerning impunity, political prisoners and the disappeared.
The mobilisation led by the Communist Party of Mexico began at the Hemiciclo a Juárez and proceeded towards the headquarters of Section IX of the National Union of Education Workers' Coordinating Committee (CNTE), in the city's historic centre.
The demonstration brought together communist activists and supporters around the historical significance of the October Revolution and its continuing relevance to contemporary working-class struggles. The anniversary provided an occasion to reaffirm the importance of revolutionary organisation and the struggle against exploitation.
The mobilisation also addressed current political and social questions in Mexico. The march carried demands for justice for political prisoners, an end to impunity and attention to the cases of disappeared people.
