The following is the joint statement issued by the five Left Parties
condemning the US aggression on Venezuela:

 

Left Parties Calls for Protests Against US Aggression

 

We strongly denounce and condemn the US aggression against Venezuela and the
kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. This is
an attack carried out against a sovereign nation in blatant violation of the
UN Charter.

 

US President, Donald Trump, in his address stated that they would capture
the oil reserves of Venezuela, laying bare the real intentions behind this
aggression. The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, went a step further and
warned that Cuba and Mexico would be their next target. These statements,
coming days after the release of the US National Security Strategy 2025,
make it clear that US imperialism seeks to impose its hegemony over the
entire world, even if it means carrying out military attacks. The US wants
to impose the Trump corollary of the infamous Monroe doctrine that treats
the entire Western Hemisphere as its backyard and run its writ.

 

Reports coming from Venezuela indicate that the people are mobilising in
large numbers against US aggression and in defence of their country’s
sovereignty. We extend our wholehearted support and solidarity with the
fighting people of Venezuela.

 

We, the Left parties, call for nationwide protests against US aggression and
in solidarity with the people of Latin America. We appeal to all
peace-loving, anti-imperialist people of our country to mobilise in large
numbers and actively participate in these protests. The Government of India
must join the voices of countries across the world condemning US aggression
and stand firmly with Venezuela.
