Speaking a few meters from the U.S. Embassy in Havana, the intellectual rejected the actions of imperialism, “which knows it is condemned to dissolve, which does not accept the emerging multipolar world, which allows itself to violate all international law and all civilized norms of coexistence.”

He stated that Washington wants the world to believe its lies and accept barbarity as inevitable.

He also remembered that lies have been one of its constant weapons against Venezuela, Cuba, and their people.

Prieto warned that from Cuba, early this morning, President Miguel Diaz-Canel made an urgent appeal to the international community to halt the military aggression.

“There cannot be a single decent person in this world who does not denounce this infamy by every means at their disposal.

We must knock on every door to ensure the truth about this sinister plan to seize Venezuela’s wealth is known,” he stated.

He also urged people to stop the forces of hatred, the forces of war, of fascism, and to defend the right to peace, solidarity, life, sovereignty, and justice.

The president of Casa de las Americas remembered the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, who said that for Vietnam, we are willing to give even our own blood. “Today, Fidel would say that for Venezuela, we are willing to give even our own blood,” he emphasized. jdt/arc/mml
