On 3 January 2026, the US took a qualitative leap forward in its imperialist violence, bombing Venezuela and kidnapping Nicolas Maduro. We do not yet know the details of the operation, but we do know the background.

The United States has decided to return to the old tactic of overthrowing governments and invading countries in Latin America, using hard power to shape the continent and the world as it sees fit, creating puppet regimes that facilitate its access to markets and natural resources. It is also a question of power: the power to do as it pleases with total impunity, to discipline the working classes, to intimidate other countries.

We are facing a very serious event that marks a turning point. Those who applaud or look the other way in the face of this invasion are also guilty of the destruction it will cause. This political and military brutality has nothing to do with ‘freedom’: rather, it has to do with the freedom of the great American power to violate and impose its interests by fire and sword. We call for united mobilisation against the invasion and imperialist coup in Venezuela. We demand that the Spanish government condemn this attack and actively oppose it: we must fight for withdrawal from NATO and against policies of imperialist interference. We call on everyone to participate in all the demonstrations that have been called.

US out of Venezuela!

Internationalist resistance against imperialism!
