In a public statement, the Platform condemned the US bombing of several areas of the Venezuelan capital and other states, as well as the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, events that resulted in the deaths of approximately one hundred people. Somos Patria expressed its solidarity with the families of the victims and with the Venezuelan people and denounced the violation of the sovereignty of the Bolivarian nation.

The group pointed out that the aggression contradicts the decision of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), which declared the region a territory of peace, and warned that its consequences are “difficult to assess” for hemispheric stability.

The statement also warned of threats made against the political integrity of the Western Hemisphere, especially against Mexico, Colombia, and Denmark, within the framework of a doctrine it described as “obsolete” and brought into the 21st century by President Donald Trump.

The platform also questioned the pronouncements of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and his supporters backing the US action, arguing that they violate principles enshrined in the Ecuadorian Constitution, ratified in popular referendums in 2008 and 2025.

“Our nation is dignified and sovereign, even despite its poor governance. War and colonialism have not been, nor will they ever be, our banners,” the statement emphasized.
