¡Aquí Está!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
¡Aquí Está! ('It's Here!'or 'Here it is!') was a Venezuelan weekly newspaper, the central organ of the Communist Party of Venezuela.[1] ¡Aquí Está! was founded in 1942 by Miguel Otero Silva (recently returned from exile), as the Venezuelan political climate was liberalized under Isaías Medina Angarita.[2][3] ¡Aquí Está! substituted the previous Communist Party organ El Martillo, which had been re-launched in 1938.[2] ¡Aquí Está! was marked by a 'Browderist' editorial line.[4] Apart from Otero Silva, other editors of ¡Aquí Está! were Carlos Augusto Léon and Ernesto Silva Tellerías.[5] The newspaper was published from Caracas.[6] Through ¡Aquí Está! the Communist Party was able to win a considerable influence over the urban intelligentsia.[7]
¡Aquí Está! published a large amount of Juan Bautista Fuenmayor's, general secretary of the Communist Party of Venezuela, journalistic works.[2]
On September 10, 1946, ahead of the Constituent Assembly election the Communist Party decided to merge ¡Aquí Está! with another communist newspaper, Unidad, and launch a new publication, El Popular.[8][9]
