The organization noted that the fascism entrenched in the White House has deployed in the last few weeks, amid the decline of its imperial power, a series of hostile actions against the peoples of the world, and particularly against Latin America and the Caribbean, with the intention of reviving the Monroe Doctrine.

The text indicates that the leading target of those actions has been the Bolivarian people of Venezuela, which, with the unity, firmness, and courage inherited from Commander Hugo Chavez and with their leaders at the forefront, continue to resist external pressures.

The movement affirmed, “We are certain that these vile neocolonial ambitions will prevail.”

It added that the aggressions are a response to Venezuela’s sovereign decision to forge its destiny and, in particular, its status as possessing the world’s largest oil reserves, which has once again sparked foreign interests aimed at plundering other countries’ resources.

Nicaragua reaffirmed its commitment to defending life, peace, and prosperity for the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, and reiterated the validity of the 2014 declaration by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in Havana, which proclaimed the region as a zone of peace.
