Political organizations from Latin America and the Caribbean issued a joint statement denouncing the “comprehensive regime of aggression” that the United States government maintains against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which they describe as a modern form of blockade with direct human consequences.
The document, signed by 15 communist parties and movements from the region—including the Communist Party of Colombia, the Communist Party of Brazil, the Communist Party of Venezuela, and the Communist Party of Argentina—lists six central pillars of this unilateral policy: illegal coercive sanctions, economic and financial blockade, appropriation of Venezuelan assets abroad, military threats, political interference, and disinformation campaigns.

Among the signatories are the Communist Party of Ecuador, the Communist Party of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Communist Party of Honduras, and the Mexican Communist Party, who in the text denounce the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the US, which have been “repeatedly condemned by United Nations bodies and rapporteurs” as constituting “collective punishment” and violating the UN Charter, the principle of non-intervention, and the right to self-determination of peoples.
Furthermore, the text emphasizes that these sanctions are not “targeted,” but rather function as a generalized blockade that affects access to food, medicine, medical supplies, and industrial spare parts, also hindering the international financial transactions of Venezuelan entities.

The statement, which also includes the Communist Party of Peru, the Communist Party of Uruguay, the Morazanist Revolutionary Party (Honduras), the People’s Party of Panama, and the Guatemalan Labor Party, denounces the “seizure and plundering of Venezuelan people’s assets abroad,” including strategic companies such as CITGO and Monómeros, as well as the withholding of gold reserves at the Bank of England. These acts, the signatories maintain, constitute “modern piracy and theft of public assets.”
Regarding regional security, the text warns of the militarization of the Caribbean, highlighting the deployment of US naval forces, the execution of “joint operations,” and the prepositioning of “war reserves,” along with support for “mercenary cells and covert operations.” It also criticizes direct political interference, manifested in the “creation of parallel governments,” the financing of destabilization operations, and the use of lawfare to undermine Venezuelan institutions.
The declaration, which also includes the Popular Vanguard Party of Costa Rica, RASIN Kan Pèp La Haiti, CNCP Martinique, and the Caamañista Movement of the Dominican Republic, highlights the role of media warfare and disinformation campaigns, used, according to the signatories, to “justify aggression and undermine national cohesion” in Venezuela.

Given this situation, the signatories demand the immediate, total, and unconditional lifting of all unilateral coercive measures, the full return of seized assets, the cessation of the militarization of the Caribbean, and unrestricted respect for sovereignty and electoral processes in Venezuela. Furthermore, they reject the extraterritoriality of U.S. legislation, which affects third countries, banks, and companies in the region.
The call extends to the governments of Our America, urging them not to support foreign sanctions, to reestablish trade and financial relations with Venezuela in local currencies, and to promote mechanisms within regional bodies such as CELAC, ALBA, CARICOM, and UNASUR to protect countries from external aggression.
Likewise, unions, parliaments, peasant, feminist, youth, cultural, and academic organizations are invited to build a continental anti-blockade front through training campaigns, public statements, and coordinated actions. Popular media and the cultural community are called upon to “break the information blockade” and highlight the impact of the blockade and the theft of assets.

As concrete proposals, the signatories propose the creation of a Sovereign Humanitarian Cooperation Mechanism between states and public companies in the region to guarantee the supply of essential goods to Venezuela without conditions, as well as the reactivation of energy agreements such as Petrocaribe. They also propose establishing national legal observatories against extraterritoriality and lawfare, and supporting international legal actions undertaken by Venezuela in pursuit of reparations.
“The defense of Venezuela is not a matter for just one nation: it is the defense of the right of all our peoples to decide their own path without blockades or plunder,” they stated.
