In a message posted on Facebook, the organization stated that “from Sandinista Nicaragua, the Antonio Maceo Cuban Patriotic Community stands with the people in these times of threats to the homeland from Yankee imperialism.”

The statement pointed out that Washington is experiencing “extreme desperation,” motivated—they asserted—by the urgent need for access to oil, rare earth elements, and other raw materials, which, they affirmed, translates into threats against various countries.

Likewise, the community expressed its rejection of the actions against Venezuela, which it described as acts of aggression, and demanded the immediate release of the Venezuelan president and the First Lady, while reiterating its solidarity with that country.

“We are in the fight, certain that we will win; they haven’t been able to, and they won’t be able to. Ever onward to victory,” the message concluded.
