Under the slogan of “No to Imperialism,” hundreds of people gathered in the Place de la Bastille with banners and flags representing the organizations to condemn the attack a week ago, during which President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were kidnapped.

Participants in the demonstration warned of the threat to humanity posed by the interventionist policies of US President Donald Trump and cautioned that after Venezuela, other countries and territories could suffer military aggression.

In this regard, they mentioned Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and Greenland (an island belonging to Denmark).

The protesters rejected Trump’s accusations against Venezuela and its government of alleged links to drug trafficking and terrorism, claims he is using to mask his objective of seizing the South American nation’s vast resources, particularly its oil.

The CGT called for resistance and the formation of an anti-imperialist front commensurate with the threat and expressed solidarity with Venezuelan trade unionists.

At another iconic spot in the City of Lights, the Trocadero Esplanade, French and Latin American residents mobilized at the call of the Collective for Peace in Venezuela to denounce the attack perpetrated in the early hours of January 3 and demand the immediate release of Maduro and Flores.
