¡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]
