We document the three resolutions adopted at the III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations in Europe:
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
Resolution on the III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations in Europe III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organizations in Europe
We, Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations held our III. Meeting, continuing on the trajectory of the I. and II. Meeting, brought to live through the initiative of the V. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations in Latin America. The successful conclusion of the III. Meeting marks another hallmark in the ongoing process of uniting in theoretical debate and joint action. On the basis of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism, and in our ongoing struggle for ideological unity today, always implacably linked with the struggle against revisionism, we will increase our efforts in serving the Proletarian World Revolution.
Based on these principles the unity among the participating Parties and Organisations was deepened and we are committed to struggle to include all Parties and Organisations of the continent willing to unity with us on them. We send our particular greetings to the Parties and Organisations from other countries, who were, although invited, unable to participate due to particular problems. We salute the commitments made in their statements and we continue to struggle to include them as well as other communist forces, from all parts of the continent, in our joint efforts.
We also send our wholeheartedly greetings to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations in the storm centers of the Proletarian World Revolution in the oppressed countries and especially those in the forefront of the struggles. The People’s Wars in Peru, India, Turkey and the Philippines are a beacon of inspiration and strengthen our revolutionary determination. Our position is clear and everyone should know that we understand these People’s Wars as our own struggles and therefore we utterly reject any attack on them as an attack on the very core of our revolutionary commitment and we reject any liquidation of armed struggle and any capitulationist position of “Peace Accords” or other collaboration with imperialism, revisionism and reaction. In the case of the People’s War of Turkey, due to some recent sinister events, we consider it necessary to highlight, that it is a basic principle for any communist, revolutionary and even revolutionarist Party, Organization, Movement or individual that under no circumstance you can collaborate with the old state, be it in imperialist or landlord-bureaucratic capitalist countries, in order to attack forces inside the ranks of the popular masses. To do so is a crime, and therefore we strongly condemn those how have denounced our Turkish comrades to the Police and other officials of the state and we demand an immediate withdrawal of these charges. We firmly stand behind the struggle of the revolutionary forces in Turkey.
We very clearly see how the communist in the world are advancing boldly and quickly, may it be the Parties leading People’s War or those who are struggling to constitute or reconstitute their Parties in order to initiate People’s War. Maoism is more and more advancing in leading the new great wave of the Proletarian World Revolution. There is a crying need to further impulse and develop the ongoing efforts to unite the communist of the world. We firmly take up the task to struggle for the Unified International Maoist Conference and commit ourselves to do everything in our power to contribute to its success.
Unite under Maoism!
Victory to the People’s Wars!
Forwards in the struggle for the reconstitution of the Communist Parties!
Forwards to the Unified International Maoist Conference!

Resolution to defend the revolutionary political prisoners and prisoners of war and those disappeared by the reaction III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organizations in Europe
We, the Parties and Organisations participating in the III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organisations firmly take position for the revolutionary political prisoners and prisoners of war throughout the world and send our warmest revolutionary greetings to them. Them holding high the position of our class, their the determination to not succumb to rotten betrayals and their unconciliable stance in the struggles that brought them into the sights of the enemy are a true inspiration for the revolutionaries of the world.
Those combating imperialism on the side of the exploited and oppressed necessarily become targets for persecution by the counterrevolutionary forces. By any means possible, the reaction attempts to subdue all forms of revolutionary struggle. Through imprisonment, forced disappearances, torture, threats or the denial of basic rights, the reaction strives to break or kill the revolutionaries and lock them away in their prisons.
All over the world, we can see examples of comrades wagering their freedom and health to combat exploitation and oppression. In Norway as well as in France, we see how young antifascists are being hunted and persecuted for their unrelenting struggle against fascism. In the United States, emerging revolutionaries are being covered within a plethora of charges, for the state hopes to discourage them to advance further in firm strides. In Mexico, false and political motivated accusations are manufactured to lock away popular leaders and activists, who dedicated their live to serving the people, such as Dr. Ernesto Sernas García, vanish without a trace from one moment to the next, through the common state practice of forced disappearances. In the famous case of the 23 in Brazil the state strives, with trumped up charges, to make an example out of 23 young demonstrators, activists and revolutionaries that stand accused for the whole rebellious and combative youth, that combats the hardships imposed on the Brazilian people in service of imperialism. Defending the revolutionary comrades attacked by the reaction, we also want to express our disgust towards all those who use the „solidarity“, especially with the 23, to spread confusion in the International Communist Movement and the People’s Movement in order to mask their own capitulation. The Turkish government, notorious for its massacres of imprisoned revolutionaries, in collaboration with the German state, goes as far as to hunt down and persecutes democratic and revolutionary activists even abroad, as the imprisonment of the ten revolutionaries in 2015 has yet again shown. In the Philippines, the rotten old State uses martial law to illegally detain and kill democratic rights activists and revolutionary leaders of the Lumad indigenous people. The case of Indian Prof. GN Saibaba is synonymous with the crimes committed by the reaction to all those imprisoned the cells for the democratic work in this prison house of people. Communist militants like comrade Ajith are hunted down and, if left alive, locked away in a farce of a justice system, where after one sentence has been served, immediately new cases are slapped on those released, so to prevent them to ever leave prison until their forceably accumulated illnesses make them die in a heavily guarded hospital bed.
And although the state, with all its strength, tries to break and struck a bargain with these revolutionaries and comrades they stand firm for their believes and not succumb to deals with the institutions of the state. The most shining example of this heroic position can be seen at the Naval Base of Callao, where Chairman Gonzalo, leader of the Communist Party of Peru, is imprisoned now for more then 20 years, without breaking, but instead persisting in isolation to convert his high-security cell below ground in the most shining trench of combat.
There struggle outside and inside the prisons of the reaction is not in vain, but manifests and reverberates in the midst of our struggles. We consider it our duty to uphold their sacrifices, fight for their release and to defend their lives by defending, popularizing and participating in their just struggles, so they can be welcomed as soon as possible in the arms of their families, friends and comrades and rejoin the ranks of the revolution outside.

Resolution of Class Solidarity with the People’s Wars throughout the world III. Meeting of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Parties and Organizations in Europe
The Parties and Organizations of the III. Meeting send their warmest communist salutations to the Communist Parties in the world, that are waging People’s War for the New Democratic Revolution in their respective countries an and in service of the Proletarian World Revolution, as well as to all the combatants and masses under their leadership. In the People’s Wars in Peru, India, Turkey and the Philippines, daring to fight and paying the toll with their precious blood, comrades stand in the thick of the struggle to sweep imperialism from the face of the earth. Their unwavering determination to achieve, with the principle and most developed form of class struggle which is People’s War, the new democratic revolution, to progress without interruption to the socialist revolution so to then march towards communism by means of cultural revolutions is a shining beacon for the international proletariat and the peoples of the world.
In the midst of further embodiment of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism among the international proletariat and the rise of new organizations and parties that manifest as part of the new great wave for the Proletarian World Revolution, the Communist Parties leading the People’s War play an important vanguard role, especially those in the oppressed nations which are the storm centers of the Proletarian World Revolution. A victory in any of these People’s Wars will tip the scale even further in favor of revolution and will have great repercussions in the balance between revolution and counterrevolution on world scale.
Every action, every step towards New Power and every blow against the reaction let us rejoice; every fallen comrade fulfills us with more determination to work and fight harder to fasten the downfall of imperialism. From Europe, we pledge to heighten our efforts to support them in any way necessary for the People’s Wars to be victorious and redouble our efforts to facilitate the development of People’s Wars in each and every country.
Long live the People’s Wars in the World!
