The Historical Pact Political Movement issued a statement asserting that the action constitutes a grave threat of aggression against Latin America and the Caribbean, while denouncing that its true purpose is the illegal detention of leaders of a sovereign nation through methods that openly violate international law.

It warned that this is a unilateral transgression aimed at normalizing illegal and immoral intervention in the institutional life of the Venezuelan state.

“The current US administration seriously distorts international relations in a region that refuses to continue being treated as a backyard, in a clear and dangerous attempt to reimpose the outdated Monroe Doctrine,” denounced the organization made up of progressive associations.

The statement recalled that recent history warns of the devastating consequences of these military adventures and emphasized how the invasions in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan did not resolve the problems they claimed to combat, but instead left chaos, destruction, endless humanitarian crises, and fragmented societies.

“Latin America is not willing to suffer the same fate. Our continent will not be the next chapter in this failed imperialist manual,” the Historic Pact stated.

The coalition then stated that international relations cannot continue to be governed by the logic of subjugation and that the era of imperialism is over.
