Gathered at the monument to Simon Bolivar in the capital, organizations and solidarity groups expressed their rejection of the “gunboat” policy, characteristic of the Monroe Doctrine, which President Donald Trump is reviving in its aggressive version against the Americas, organizers expressed.

“We will also pay tribute to the 32 Cubans and the more than 80 Venezuelans who shed their blood on January 3 in defense of Venezuela and its president,” the statement specified.

This activity joins others that keep solidarity groups active within the framework of the 34th anniversary of the 1992 Peace Accords and in repudiation of US policy.

In this context, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) will commemorate the peace accords signed in Mexico.

The day before, at the Constitution Monument in the capital, FMLN groups commemorated the date, while also condemning Washington’s aggression against the Venezuelan people and demanding the return of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

Meanwhile, FMLN Secretary General Manuel Flores paid tribute to the 32 Cuban heroes who died in Venezuela during a visit to the Cuban embassy in El Salvador, where he expressed his rejection of the aggression against the Venezuelan people and his solidarity with the Caribbean island.
