The ICFI Defends Trotskyism

Joint Communique from the Greek and Spanish Sections of the ICFI

The Central Committee of the Workers Internationalist League, the Greek section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, and the Central Committee of the Workers Communist League, the Spanish Section of the International Committee of the Fourth International, declare our loyalty to the Tenth World Congress of the ICFI as the highest body of the ICFI and its policies and resolutions can only be changed by another congress.

The policies and the leadership of the Congress were attacked by a faction in the WRP led by Mike Banda and supported internationally by Dave North and Ulli Rippert who manoeuvred to expel comrade Gerry Healy without any discussion in the international nor in a committee meeting or in a conference but by manoeuvrings in the WRP Central Committee.

We affirm our confidence in the historic role of the ICFI and in the methods of dialectical materialism as the philosophy of Marxism.

The struggle for dialectical materialism establishes the historical continuity of Marxism and of the Fourth International founded by Leon Trotsky.

We do not accept the expulsion of the most world-known leader of the International, Comrade Gerry Healy, behind the backs of the International.

We are calling Comrade Gerry Healy as the historical leader of this movement and as the leader of the Tenth World Congress as well as the most outstanding fighter for its perspectives to call an emergency meeting of the International Committee of the Fourth International and we will not recognise any other factional meeting called fraudulently in the name of the ICFI.

We are calling upon all leaders and members of all sections of the International Committee of the Fourth International to support our communique.
