Stand with Venezuela! US
Hands Off Venezuela!
Statement of the Revolutionary Communist Party of
Britain (Marxist-Leninist)
RCPB(ML) denounces the US act of state terrorism against
Venezuela and its people. We condemn the violence unleashed against Venezuela
and its people, violence justified under the hoax of securing the arrest and
kidnapping of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. Maduros indictment in
the Southern District of New York on charges of narco-terrorism, cocaine
trafficking and weapons-related conspiracies is a fraud.
Under President Trump, the US is carrying out illegal and
desperate acts of extreme violence and state terrorism against Venezuela, acts
that are also endangering the calls for peace in the entire region of the
Caribbean and Latin America. These are acts of destruction of all rule of law
and all lawfully constituted states and institutions, showing that the United
States will do the same against any country it so decides. There can be no
compromise or conciliation with such reaction.
The British government must unequivocally oppose the
lawlessness and destruction which the US is carrying out. Nothing less is
acceptable. The government must stand with the people and with other
governments in their call for an immediate cessation of military action by the
US and the return of Maduro to his country. Now is the time that the government
should break with the wanton violence and war of the United States.
Emergency actions are being called across the country, with
demonstrations and online rallies so that the people, their anti-war
organisations, trade unions and other collectives can give expression to their
demand to end US state terrorism. The working class and people are joining the
people of Venezuela and the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean in
denouncing the US actions against Venezuela and US state terrorism at home and
abroad.
Long live the resistance of the Venezuelan people! Not a
single youth for imperialist war! All out to support the people of Venezuela,
their government and their fight to defend their sovereignty!
