Like silver in the roots of the Andes

The Cuban Centers Members of CLACSO, in the faithful legacy of revolutionary commitment to truth, justice and human dignity, stand in solidarity with the people and government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and condemn the military attack perpetrated in recent hours, which led to the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro.

Today, North American imperialism is re-arming the Monroe Doctrine, usurping the sovereignty of Our America, and launching a siege, a threat of war, and an economic, maritime, and commercial blockade against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The current president of the United States is revealing his plan to steal and plunder the energy resources of Venezuelan homeland.

Once again, the people must unite, like silver in the roots of the Andes. From the independent island of revolutionary Cuba, we denounce the destabilization maneuvers and imperialist interference aimed at reinforcing its dominance over the entire region. Recent events demonstrate that the United States will not hesitate to wield power based on the arbitrary use of force and the violation of international law to achieve its nefarious interests.

We reaffirm our commitment to solidarity through actions of denunciation, the unveiling of the deceitful mechanisms of Yankee imperialism, and educational and enlightening activity in service of emancipatory projects.

They shall not pass through Our America!

Not even a little bit of imperialism!
