j!K{1s[.y October 1990: became an independent party at its 1st Congress and the successor of the former Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSC)
xvW# ~T ] $;j{?dvm. Political programme
>uJU25)| At its 5th Congress in December 1999, the party adopted two major programmes, The CPBM at the Turn of the Millennium and a Programme of Renewal. The first outlines the party’s more long-term programme and aims, while the second contains its proposals for solving the economic, social and political crisis in which the Czech Republic finds itself fifteen years after the change of regime in November 1989 and the restoration of capitalism. Its proposals include calls for an appropriate degree of state ownership in key sectors of the economy (banking, transport, telecommunications, energy, the extractive industries etc.) and the development of a modern large-scale agriculture.
}M &hcw< The importance of winning the active support of the people for the party’s anti-crisis programme and their involvement in implementing it is stressed. To this end, a popular ten-point summary of the CPBM’s proposals, called A Better Way for Our Country, was also approved by the Congress.
[ip}f4K RIq\IQ_| The party vigorously opposed the Czech Republic’s membership of NATO and its war of aggression against Yugoslavia. The Congress endorsed a policy of withdrawal from NATO, after an initial stage of suspension of membership.
b#Vm;6BHD1 While supporting the processes of European integration, the Congress declared its opposition to membership of the European Union in its present form.
|qtZb}"| N.-*ig.YR7 As the programme adopted at the CPBM’s 6th Congress in May 2004, Hope for the Czech Republic represents a creative application of Marxism to the new economic, social, political and cultural conditions established since the restoration of capitalism during the 1990s. It is in fact the CPBM’s alternative economic and political strategy. It details the party’s main priorities, the first of which is job creation, fairer wages for Czech workers and protection of the country's poor and at-risk groups.
2 P9 {?Y The document is divided into five sections, dealing in turn with the economic steps which the party sees as fundamental to all other aspects of the programme, the CPBM’s environmental policy, the creation of an education- and information-based society accessible to all, international affairs, including the party’s perspective on the European Left, and the creation of a civil society and law-governed democratic state. It shares Marx’s view that ”philosophers have only interpreted the world, but the point is to change it.”
