Stand with Venezuela! US Hands Off Venezuela!

Statement of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)

January 4 2025

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. Maduro’s 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!
