Press Statement
 
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:
 
Condemn US Intervention in Venezuela
 
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly denounces the US
intervention in the internal affairs of Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The recognition by the US of Juan Guaido, the leader of the opposition
groups in Venezuela as the president of Venezuela, is an attempt to subvert
the constitutional order in that country and encourage a coup.
 
Nicolas Maduro was legitimately elected as the President of the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela in the presidential election held on May 20th 2018.
His election is an expression of the popular will as sanctioned by the
Constitution of Venezuela. Election observers from various countries who
oversaw these elections endorsed them as free and fair. The US has been
trying to destabilise the democratically elected government of Venezuela
through various means, including the imposition of inhuman economic
sanctions and threatening military intervention. These are brazen acts of
violation of the UN Charter.
 
In spite of the US openly calling armed forces to rebel against the elected
government of Venezuela, the people of Venezuela and the armed forces have
stood by the Maduro administration. 
 
The CPI(M) is confident that the people of Venezuela will continue to resist
all US attempts to destabilise the country and once again comprehensively
defeat the coup attempt of the right-wing forces.
 
The CPI(M) strongly condemns the latest act of aggression of US imperialism
on Venezuela and appeals to all the democratic and peace loving people
worldwide to stand in solidarity with the people of Venezuela in their
struggle against US interference and in defence of their sovereignty.
