Upon commemorating the 187th birthday of patriot Eugenio Maria de Hostos in Mayaguez, in western Puerto Rico, Rodriguez Leon affirmed that the MINH undertakes this task with great seriousness and pride.

“We are internationalists and Latin Americanists like Hostos, Betances, Marti and Bolivar; it is time to get united much more with our allies and be very clear about where the enemies are,” the Puerto Rican leftist leader stated, after arguing that President Donald Trump’s relaunch of the Monroe Doctrine is an attempt by the United States to recover some of its lost hegemony.

He asserted that, “2026 began with the US airstrike on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its President, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a vile act that violates International Law and even US law.

This occurred after several months of provocations, with an intimidating display of military paraphernalia off the Venezuelan coast and the murder of dozens of people in the waters of the Caribbean and the Colombian Pacific.”

Rodriguez Leon remembered that, as part of these maneuvers, the Trump administration had also stolen an oil tanker.

The MINH leader noted, “After its aggression against Venezuela on January 3, the US government threatened Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Nicaragua as its next possible victims, when President Trump has resumed threats to seize Greenland, while the European Union makes only timid statements.”
