A number of Argentina’s websites have simultaneously run articles praising the meaning and historic lessons drawn from Vietnam’s August Revolution on the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the great event (August 19, 1945 - 2016).
According to the article, August Revolution in 1945 is a mortal blast for colonialism, paving the way for the spread of the national liberation movement around the globe. It was a testimony to the right tactic and the leadership capacity of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) and the Viet Minh (Vietnam Independence League) towards founding the Socialist Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945.
The article, written by journalist Jorge Tuero, who is director of the AcercandoNaciones magazine, praised the sound leadership and right strategy taken by the CPV. Careful preparations related to politics and military along with the national unity and strength of the alliance of workers and peasants contributed to making the great victory and the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945, it added.
The journalist also applauded Vietnam’s strong development, modernisation and the country’s integration efforts at present. The website of the Centre for Economic and Social Studies of Argentina reviewed key milestones of Vietnam’s resistance war against French colonialists.
It highlighted the establishment of the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association in 1925, which gathered patriotic youths to promote national liberation movements throughout the nation, and the establishment of the CPV in 1930, which worked to expel the French colonialism, feudalism and reactionary bourgeoisies, ensure human right and gender equality, and promote education.
The article also recalled the event when late President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945 at Ba Dinh Square. The ArgenPress website published the Vietnam’s chronicles from 1954 to 1975.
