passes more political and social forces.
The sixth congress adopted the 1980
decision to amend the constitution to this
effect.
The work of the congress, the
reports presented by the Permanent
Secretariat and the interventions of the
participants exhibited the positive efforts
made by the leading bodies of AAPSO,
in particular the Permanent Secretariat,
to improve the role of the AAPSO, and to
enrich the scope and content of the sol-
idarity movement. The congress hailed
the work done by the Permanent Sec-
retariat in leading the AAPSO success-
fully during the past years.
The work of the AAPSO congress
expressed the deep, sincere intentions
of all delegates to escalate the activities
of the solidarity movement. Regardless
of some differences of opinion on this
subject or that, the congress with very
good spirit succeeded in adopting good
resolutions on all subjects, as well as a
plan of action for the coming period and
amendments to its constitution. The
resolutions expressed support to the
struggling peoples in Asia and Africa
andinthe world in general. It was
emphasized that their struggle is part
and parcel of the worldwide struggle
against imperialism, colonialism, neo-
colonialism, Zionism and racism, and for
freedom, _self-determination, peace,
democracy and social progress.
The congress adopted three resolu-
tions specifically supporting the struggle
of the peoples in the Middle East. Camp
David and all similar plans and propos-
als were specifically condemned. Sup-
port was expressed for the Lebanese
resistance against Israeli occupation.
Finally the congress reaffirmed its sup-
port for the Palestinian people's struggle
against Zionism and imperialism in order
to achieve their inalienable national
rights, especially the right to return, self-
determination and the establishment of
an independent state under the leader-
ship of the PLO, their sole legitimate rep-
resentative. The congress amended the
AAPSO constitution to facilitate the
incorporation into the movement of new
forces engaged in anti-imperialist strug-
gle, while at the same time preserving
the nature of the organization as an Afro-
Asian organization. r
Death of
Comrade Berlinguer
On June 11th, the General Secre-
tary of the Communist Party of Italy,
Enrico Berlinguer, passed away after
suffering from a brain hemorrhage.
Born in 1922 to a noble family on
Sardinia, Berlinguer joined the Com-
munist Party in 1943, after reading Karl
Marx in his uncle's library and develop-
ing close relations with communist work-
ers. After only two years, he became a
member of the Central Committee. He
became responsible for the communist
youth organization and on this basis
president of the World Federation of
Democratic Youth. In 1966, he was
elected deputy General Secretary of the
party and in 1972, he became the Gen-
eral Secretary.
Under his leadership, the Com-
percentage of votes in its history, 34,5%
in the 1975-76 election making it the
second biggest party in Italy after the
Christian Democrats who received
38%.

Berlinguer was famous for two main
issues: First was the idea of «the historic
compromise» which meant sharing gov- .
ernmental power with mainly the Christ-
ian Democrats; this project however
never materialized. Second was the
trend of Eurocommunism, advocated by
the Italian Communist Party along with
the French and Spanish Communist
Parties in the mid-seventies. Both the
«historic Compromise» and Eurocom-
munism created a state of polemics and
dispute among communist and democ-
ratic forces in Europe and all over the
world. Since then, Eurocommunism has
lost its force as a movement with the
change in the international orientation of
the French Communist Party away from
Eurocommunism and the replacement
of Carillo as General Secretary of the
Spanish Communist Party.
Inspite of the loss of Comrade Ber-
linguer, we are confident that the Italian
Communist Party will continue its march
towards peace, democracy and social
progress, based on its long traditions of
national and international struggle. @
