AKEL denounces the foreign interventions in Venezuela
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 28th April 2017, Nicosia
The ongoing interventions and growing US aggression against Venezuela and its people are inciting bloody clashes in the country with many victims. The world is witnessing yet another operation for a new “colorful revolution” or a new “Maidan” aiming at the overthrow of the Maduro government, the Bolivarian Process and the social gains achieved by the people of the country. Their evident goal is to put the oil resources of Venezuela under their control and to undermine the progressive processes in a number of Latin American countries that have been challenging US domination in the region over the past few years.
The US, the Organization of American States, the EU and every other force of the international community must respect Venezuela’s sovereignty, the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other states and the right of every people to choose the future of their own country. This position should have been respected by everyone regardless of how much one agrees or disagrees with the choices of one or the other country.
AKEL denounces the foreign interventions in Venezuela and expresses its solidarity with the Communist Party of Venezuela, the progressive Forces and people of Venezuela.
