Under the title “Let’s Denounce This Act of Imperial Piracy!”, the Cuban delegation participating in the People’s Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace of Our America in Caracas endorsed the statement issued by the Bolivarian Republic denouncing this assault and seizure of an oil tanker on the high seas.

Representatives of Cuban revolutionary civil society from all sectors condemned this “new and extremely serious step in the escalation of aggression” by the U.S. government against Venezuela.

In a statement circulating here this Thursday, farmers, youth, workers, members of parliament, women, and others denounced that the National Security Strategy announced by Washington, 200 years after its inception, reaffirms the abominable Monroe Doctrine through the so-called “Trump Corollary.”

The statement referenced the official text of the Bolivarian government, which asserted that this action has exposed “the true objective of the imperial offensive against our sister nation of Venezuela: the obsessive desire to seize its natural resources.”

It emphasized that this is a demonstration of everything this decaying empire, refusing to accept the irreversible advent of a multipolar international order, is willing to do to impose its agenda and interests against our people.
