The legislators expressed through a statement their strongest condemnation of the “infamous and grotesque political action” by the United States government against the Cuban leader, who was illegally accused by the US Department of Justice.
The text described this attitude as shameful and a clear demonstration of the “decadence and immorality” of a model characterized by its arrogance, misophobia, and racial supremacism, which violates all current international law and the principles of sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.
The release remembered the historic brotherhood between Cuba and Venezuela, forged through an unbreakable bond established during the epic visit of Apostle Jose Marti to Caracas, who stood, in January 1881, before the image of liberator Simon Bolivar, paying homage to the Father of the Liberation and his anti-imperialist and integrationist ideals.
The lawmakers noted that this gesture by Marti was compensated by Commander Hugo Chavez when, on December 13, 1994, he embraced Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro at Havana’s international airport, forever sealing the bonds of brotherhood between the two nations.
The Parliamentary Friendship Group emphasized that despite the severe sanctions imposed upon them by the oppressive imperial forces, millions of Venezuelans and Latin Americans have been able to experience the beauty of life thanks to the Mission Miracle program.
