lpv:translated text	". The foreign debt of the poor, developing countries comes from loans imposed with particularly unfavourable, predatory terms by international imperialist organisations, especially the World Bank and the IMF. They were granted for the purpose not of strengthening the economies of these countries and combating grass-roots problems, but for the purpose of control of the markets and wealth-producing resources and fierce exploitation of the peoples, with the result that these loans exacerbate the position of these countries, increase their dependence on the international imperialist centres and strengthen the position of the large monopoly groups, the multinationals, especially the American multinationals, so that they can control the markets. Without deluding ourselves that the character and objectives of the international organisations may change, we are calling for the wiping out of the foreign debt of these countries, the demand for and imposition of international economic conditions based on mutual assistance and equality between countries and support for grass-roots interests against the interests of the multinationals. That is why the fight by the peoples of these countries cannot be confined to writing off the debt. It is an anti-imperialist fight. They are fighting for international relations to change radically. They are fighting to defeat the imperialist system. They are fighting so that the peoples themselves can determine their future and exploit the resources for common progress and advance."@en1
