As the XXIII Marcha del Orgullo event approaches, the Partido Comunista has expressed its strong opposition to the event, claiming it is “incompatible with the struggle for equality.” In an official statement, they denounced the event as “a party of brands and capitalism.” The party also highlighted their concerns about the role of corporations in sponsoring the event, arguing that it undermines the political nature of the march and compromises its integrity. Despite these objections, however, the march is set to go ahead as planned, with organizers insisting on its importance in promoting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. While this controversy highlights the ongoing debate around the relationship between activism and commercialization, it also underscores the continued relevance of the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and the need to create spaces for marginalized communities to be seen and heard. Ultimately, the decision of whether to participate in or support the Marcha del Orgullo should be based on a careful consideration of both its political goals and its potential impact on broader efforts towards equality.
