No to the US-led coup d’ etat in Venezuela

Solidarity with the people and the democratically elected government of Venezuela

 

These days another coup d’ etat is gradually evolving in the long-suffering Latin America. The US and the domestic oligarchy of Venezuela are trying to establish a previously unknown puppet who has never been voted by anyone in power. This effort is not new. For several years, the US and the domestic oligarchy have been trying to regain control of the oil-rich country. To achieve this, they have organized a failed coup in the past, launched murderous gangs from all over Latin America, and literally strangled economically Venezuela. Today, the Right-right Republican Government of Trump, with the complicity of the ‘Liberal’ Democratic Party’s hawks, is even more threatening with open military intervention. Almost all the ‘democratic’ Western world is falling behind it while at the very same time it supports blood-dyed dictatorships and monarchies, and with its common military interventions in recent decades it has sowed wars, ruins and ruins in the world. Particularly the systemic media of mass ‘information’ unleash a unbashful war of misinformation about the situation in Venezuela.

The Venezuelan people by overthrowing the previous corrupt oligarchic political system and bringing Hugo Chavez into power broke the chains that held him a captive of the US and the domestic oligarchy and tried to build a country on the basis of social justice. There have been and there are problems and weaknesses and retreats in this road. Western economic strangulation has worsened and worsened these phenomena in recent years. But no popular struggle for a better future is without costs and sacrifices; and certainly the return to power of the cleptocratic and subservient to the West oligarchy will not improve but will worsen the position of the Venezuelan people.

We call upon all the progressive voices and forces in our country to say vigorously NO to the evolving coup and stand by the struggling Venezuelan people and their democratically elected government and president N. Maduro.
