Óscar Ramón Figuera González (Tucupita, Delta Amacuro state, October 6, 1954) is a communist, Marxist-Leninist and union leader who serves as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV). He has been deputy to the National Assembly of Venezuela for the states of Aragua (2006-2011) and Guárico (2011-2021), and for the National List (2021-2026). In the last parliamentary elections of December 6, 2020, he was a candidate for the Communist Party of Venezuela, an organization that made a canopy apart from the Simón Bolívar Great Patriotic Pole forming the Popular Revolutionary Alternative (APR) with the message of radicalizing the Bolivarian Revolution, which had taken him to the National Assembly in previous periods. He was reelected as deputy to the National Assembly for the period 2021-2026. He is an opposition figure to the Maduro's government.
Óscar Figuera has been the General Secretary of the PCV since 1996, a party he joined in 1977. At the beginning of November, 1996, the 10th Congress of the PCV was held and the Central Committee elected there ratified comrade Óscar Figuera as General Secretary. Figuera has been ratified in the General Secretariat by the Central Committee of the PCV in the 11st, 12nd, 13rd, 14th, 15th and 16th Congresses of the PCV.
Figuera began his union activity at the age of 17, his working life has been framed within the metallurgical workers of Aragua state, where he started as a regional union leader, until 1986, when he was elected as General Secretary of the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Venezuela (CUTV), In 1990 he was ratified as its General Secretary, and in 1996 he was elected as its president, serving in that position for several years in parallel with the position of general secretary of the PCV.
Since 2021 Figuera has denounced the PSUV's attacks on the PCV, which started in 2020 when the communist party questioned and demanded a discussion on the neoliberal policies implemented by the government[1][2][3][4] and the systematic breach of the "PSUV-PCV Unitary Framework Agreement" signed in April 2018.[5] When the government refused to engage in this discussion, the PCV decided to pursue an alternative popular and revolutionary path, forming the APR. This event signaled the beginning of the persecution of the PCV.[6][7][8][9]
