Yankees Go Home! No to imperialist aggression against Venezuela!

On his social network, Donald Trump welcomed the fact that President Nicolás Maduro and his partner Cilia Flores had been ‘captured and forcibly removed’ from the country by the US military in ‘a major military operation’. After years of illegal sanctions and multiple attempts at destabilisation, after weeks of military pressure in the Caribbean and the deployment of a large armada and more than 15,000 troops on Venezuela’s doorstep, Donald Trump has crossed a new threshold. The aim of this strategy is to subjugate Venezuela and send a threatening message to all the peoples of Latin America.

In the face of this new brutal imperialist offensive, we urgently need to build a broad and united mobilisation in defence of the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination. We call for the creation of a movement of anti-imperialist resistance and internationalist solidarity with Venezuela and the whole of Latin America.

We demand an immediate halt to all military aggression and an end to the criminal sanctions against Venezuela, the withdrawal of US troops from the Caribbean, and an end to all Donald Trump’s interventionist strategies in the region (military, economic or electoral).

While we have repeatedly affirmed our rejection of Nicolás Maduro’s authoritarianism and our support for the comrades of the social and political left who are fighting in Venezuela against both this regime and the pro-imperialist right, we reaffirm loud and clear that it is up to the Venezuelan people to decide their own future. Democracy cannot be imposed by the external military intervention of an imperialist state, and even less by bombing the civilian population.

Yankees Go Home! No to this imperialist aggression! For the Venezuelan people’s right to self-determination!

The NPA-l’Anticapitaliste calls for people to join the rally at 6pm this Saturday 3 January at Place de la République in Paris and throughout France in support of the Venezuelan people.
