With the restoration of democracy and the election of a new president in 1990, the Communist Party of Chile was legalized again.

 ‘Young people have the potential for rebellion’ [S&L Magazine]
The Colombian bourgeoisie and oligarchy know this and they repress the young people, because they are conscious that in Colombia there is a ripening of the confrontation between social classes.
From our clandestine organization, from the Clandestine Party, what we want is for students and youth in general to transcend the framework of the classroom and of the universities for a head-on struggle against the state for a more profound transformation of the Colombian reality.
For this reason, the Clandestine Colombian Communist Party is being constructed as a way to continue the struggle, to organize the people without being a target of the official extermination policies against mass people's organizations.

 DOCUMENTOS VERDAD COLOMBIA
There are various reasons for this FARC initiative, most important that the old Communist Party and the Unión Patriótica have little political weight, and their leaders are scrambling to distance themselves from FARC.
The party had very limited success, but it did to win a few offices at the local and national levels, including a score of seats in Congress, often in coalition with the Liberal Party.
The purpose of the party is to gain some level of legitimacy, hoping this will allow FARC leaders to travel the world, something they used to do regularly, but is now difficult, as both the United States and the European Union have recognized that FARC is a terrorist organization.

 Workers World Oct. 22, 1998: Communists hold conference right in Bogota
In the face of severe repression by the Colombian military and its paramilitary death squads, even convoking a congress is an act of defiance.
On the eve of the congress, 25 party leaders in the Urabá region were sentenced to a total of over 1,000 years in prison.
For these reasons, the issues that the PCC's 17th congress is raising-the interaction of the armed and mass struggles, the role of the Communist Party in the mass movement, the possibilities of revolution in the new international situation-are issues that should be watched closely by revolutionaries everywhere.

 CPUSA Online - Colombia: Next Target of War on Terrorism?
The delegates, nearly one-third of whom were involved in trade union work, were militant in their resolve to build the Party in face of very difficult conditions, including state-sponsored violence against activists.
It was at its bottling plant in Carepa in 1996 that union leaders were killed by paramilitary forces and remaining employees were given an ultimatum to resign from the union, leave Carepa or be killed.
The eradication campaign thus contributes to the massive displacement of Colombians, swelling the ranks of the already 1.9 million people that have been forced from their homes through violence, primarily at the hands of the paramilitary and the Colombian army.

 The Influence of Partisan Guerrilla Warfare
The Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) was formed as part of the “Southern Bloc” of the Second Guerrilla Conference in 1966.1 In a country racked by an unofficial war since the late 1940s, FARC was one of several infant guerrilla groups formed in Colombia during the 1960s.
The Federation of American Scientists describes FARC as the “military wing of the Colombian Communist Party.”2 FARC has deep roots in peasant struggles going back to the 1920s and has become “the largest, best trained, and best equipped guerrilla organization in Colombia.”3 But times are tough for the guerrillas.
Recently, Colombian President Pastrana ordered the military to retake the Switzerland-sized territory from FARC, a move which seemed to coincide with the US’s war on terror and with Pastrana’s exasperation in the face of failed peace talks.
