San Salvador, Jan. 4 (Prensa Latina) The Critical Thought University Movement (MUPC) at the University of El Salvador joined the growing rejection of the aggression against Venezuela and the kidnapping by the United States of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.

The group condemned what it called an “interventionist escalation” by the U.S. administration against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The movement decried the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, stating that these actions seek to decapitate the legitimately constituted authorities through the illegal use of force.

Meanwhile, legislator Claudia Ortiz, of the center-right Vamos party, questioning the action, maintained that the challenge for the region is not only to combat organized crime, “but to do so without making the exception the rule or weakening the rule of law.

Without active institutions, no democracy can withstand the pressure.”

Quoted by the newspaper El Mundo, the parliamentarian questioned the US operation to kidnap Maduro and his wife, stating that the United States wields power without democratic limits.

These expressions of rejection were joined by other actions from social and popular movement organizations in El Salvador, including unions that supported statements from the World Federation of Trade Unions, which asserted that Washington’s true objective is to seize Venezuelan oil.

The Antifascist International El Salvador Chapter, the Operation Solidarity Network, and Mission Miracle also joined in the condemnations, reaffirming their rejection of the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president.
