In a statement approved by the Fifth Plenary Session of its National Committee, the organization also demanded respect for international law and the self-determination of all Latin American and Caribbean countries.

According to the text, published on various digital platforms, “Washington’s military deployment in the region has intensified, with the presence of naval and air strike groups that increase the risk of armed intervention.”

This dynamic, it is pointed out, “it is combined with a sharp increase in diplomatic pressure and threats against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

Furthermore, it accuses Washington of staging a “supposed” anti-drug operation to try to conceal its intention to “force a change of government in Venezuela that would allow access to the Latin American nation’s natural resources.”

The UPEC also urges Latin American and Caribbean media outlets “not to uncritically reproduce interpretive frameworks that legitimize military escalation or psychological warfare operations.”

It further reiterates its “solidarity with the Venezuelan people, with their journalists and media workers, who face an information blockade designed to silence their voices and distort their internal reality.”
