Addressing hundreds of Havana residents gathered at Anti-Imperialist Tribune, Gonzalez condemned the attack perpetrated in the early hours of January 3 by the United States government against Venezuela.

The Hero of the Republic also described the aggression as “cowardly and vile,” and stressed that it is not an isolated incident, but rather an escalation in the prolonged economic, media, diplomatic, and now openly military war that Washington has waged with the aim of subjugating a sovereign people and destroying the Bolivarian Revolution.

“This military aggression transcends Venezuelan borders. It is a direct attack on the pillars of International Law, the principle of self-determination of peoples, and the historical aspiration of Latin America and the Caribbean to consolidate itself as a Zone of Peace,” he stated.

The president of ICAP denounced that the bombings against Caracas and other regions of the country demonstrate who promotes terror, while the kidnappings, piracy in the Caribbean, and systematic human rights violations against migrants reveal “the fascist nature” of the administration occupying the White House.

He pointed out that the armed offensive is a response to the application of the “Trump Corollary” of the Monroe Doctrine, aimed at appropriating the natural resources of Venezuela and the entire region.

Given this scenario, he reiterated his unwavering solidarity with the “heroic and brave Venezuelan people” and supported the demand made by Venezuelan Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez for the United States government to provide “proof of life” of President Nicolas Maduro Moros and his wife, Silvia Flores. jdt/arc/mks
