People's Front (Valenzuela)

The People's Front (Spanish: Frente Popular; FP) is a Valenzuelan far-left pro-Bolivarian and Marxist–Leninist political party. It was founded by incumbent president of Valenzuela Alexandria Sierra, and her allies, in December 2022 when Sierra had disagreements and later distanced herself from the new leadership in the ruling left-wing Liberal Democratic Party.

History
The party has its origins in early June 2022, as President Alexandria Sierra had left the ruling party over disagreement with the new direction of the party under Oscar Pavía. The party was formed on 18 December 2022 by Sierra and a large faction of left-wing (mainly Marxist) LDP defectors.

Ideology and policies
The People's Front, according to its constitution, draws inspiration from Marxist–Leninist schools of thought in their analyses of the state, imperialism, culture and class contradictions in every society.

Economics
It criticizes the Liberal Democratic Party for purportedly pro-business attitudes, claiming that the Valenzuelan people have been sold off to capitalism as cheap labour.

It vows to combat corruption, offer high-quality social housing, and give free primary healthcare and education to all citizens, as well as to nationalize big enterprises, the mining and banking industries, and to quadruple welfare payouts and the minimum wage.

Foreign policy
The People's Front is against Zionism and aggressively condemns Israel and its conflict with the Palestinians, labeling the country "evil" and demanding for its extermination. Sierra declared the party's support for Hamas and began delivering weapons to the group during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war.

The People's Front publicly supports Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, praising Russia's "anti-imperialist programme" against NATO.
