This event marks a turning point in the history of the continent. Once again, it is the empire that imposes its will by bringing war to Our America and attempting to break the last region of the world without armed conflict, the political group, part of the Broad Front, asserts.

We call on social and political organizations to mobilize, defending the sovereignty and self-determination of the Venezuelan people, it continues.

“Our solidarity goes out to the Venezuelan people in these difficult times, and our firm commitment to always fight for peace on the continent,” it says.
