“Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world are now witnessing, at the highest price, the validity of previous denunciations by various governments and peoples regarding the voracity of the North, today more turbulent and brutal than in Martí’s time,” a statement from the organization reads.
“The United States not only directly attacked areas of Caracas, Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, but, asserting its status as an international outlaw, kidnapped the legitimate president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, who have now joined the endless list of ‘disappeared’ under imperial auspices,” UPEC stated.
“The plurinational veil of the Zone of Peace that Latin America and the Caribbean attempt to weave above diversity and dissension has been torn away, but perhaps the best argument for united condemnation today is the realization that the blow came from outside, from the ‘Other America,’ as Marti would say, and not from Ours,” the text points out.
“Donald Trump, who shamelessly changed the name of his Department of Defense to the Department of War, is now attempting, with the stroke of a pen, to change the name of our region,” states the UPEC.
“This act shows that, indeed, the US president would deserve the Nobel Prize for… war.
VIn any case, the Prize went to one of his admirers: Maria Corina Machado, who at this moment must be celebrating, with that strange vocation of the new ‘pacifists,’ the treacherous and nocturnal wound inflicted on several compatriots.”
“Probably, a little sisterly blood is tainted by the latest Oslo ruling,” the statement added.
The UPEC, which strongly condemned the aggression, reiterated that Cuba and its journalists will stand with Nicolas Maduro and the Bolivarian people.
“The oil greed of an empire cannot prevail over the yearning for peace of a people and a region! Latin America and the Caribbean do not want to be anyone’s backyard, but their own garden!” the statement concluded.
