The Iraqi puppet government’s resolution to raise fuel prices must be abolished

In another step indicative of the real essence of the sectarian and ethnocentric puppet government ruling in Iraq and its agenda, the Oil Ministry decided to increase the prices of fuel in Iraq starting from Sunday, the 1st July 2007.

Immediately after this decision was taken, the fuel crisis has worsened by many folds. The outraged masses of people responded by organizing demonstrations and protests in many cities across the country against this tyrannical resolution. It is worth mentioning that this decision was dictated by the International Monterey Fund and Paris Club, which ask the puppet government to stop subsidies on fuel prices. 

The Worker Communist Party of Iraq condemns this measure and considers it very detrimental to the masses of people in Iraq.

By this measure the puppet government known for unprecedented levels of outright theft and plunder seeks further impoverishing the masses. It seems that steeling billions of public money is not enough for this government, therefore it wants to steel what is on the already empty tables of the vast majority of families in Iraq.

Through this despotic resolution meant to serve the interests of its masters, the Iraqi government pushes the masses of people who live in abject poverty, massive unemployment and lack of the most basic social security into more poverty and miseries. This government is loyal to the interests of its masters in the occupation and tyrants of international capital. This resolution is another evidence that this government has nothing to do with the interests and aspirations of the poor people and toilers in the Iraqi society.

The Worker-communist Party of Iraq will do its best to abolish this despotic resolution. It calls on the masses of people in Iraq to unite their ranks and face this resolution, which ridicules the most basic human values and their real demands and aspirations. The Worker-communist Party of Iraq calls on all labour, progressive and human right organizations to play a vanguard role to expose and immediately abolish this resolution.
