Monterrey, Mexico, Jan 9 (Prensa Latina) The Committee of Solidarity with Venezuela, in the Mexican city of Monterrey, the solidarity movement with Cuba and the National Association of Democratic Lawyers of the Nuevo León state section, condemned the US military aggression against Caracas.
Similarly, last night solidarity groups reaffirmed their commitment to peace on the continent.
“The political-military actions we have just seen in Venezuela, based on cyber and technological air-space warfare, as well as the threats of the application throughout our America of the Monroe Doctrine developed by Donald Trump and the clique that governs today in the United States, openly represent a threat to all of humanity.”
“They also generate destabilization, death, destruction, looting, theft and exploitation of natural and economic resources of the peoples of the world,” said activist María de la Paz Quintanilla on Thursday night.
At the event, held in the Plaza del Colegio Civil in the city of Monterrey, located about 800 kilometers north of this capital, de la Paz Quintanilla, a member of the Martí Alternative for Our America (Mexico chapter) and of the Mexican movement of solidarity with Cuba in Monterrey, denounced the hegemonic power for “opening war fronts throughout the world and deepening the genocide in the attempt to solve the crisis of the capitalist system.”
“Trump’s threat,” the Monterrey-based activist added, “reflects the context of a social and environmental catastrophe (…) and is symptomatic of a crisis whose promoters ignore the most basic principles of international law.”
He also made an urgent call to take steps to articulate a broad front of social movements and political forces, acting not from a defensive position, but from a revolutionary offensive, which requires profound transformations to confront imperial domination.
“Let all of us who fight for a just society, free from exploitation, oppression, exclusion and discrimination, commit ourselves to agreeing on what we have in common in order to face the threat of the war that is intended to be waged against our peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean, and against the peoples of the global south in other continents, a war that in its extreme reaches genocide, as in Gaza, and brings the planet closer to a conflagration of global dimensions,” he emphasized.
In an exclusive interview with Prensa Latina, Ernesto Villareal Landeros, representative of the National Association of Democratic Lawyers from the Nuevo León state section, asserted that “Latin Americans have the need and the obligation to study the historical interventionist role of the US, trampling on the dignity and development of our peoples, at the mercy of the exploitation of their natural resources.”
“It’s not just about knowing history, but about becoming aware of the predatory attitude of the United States. There are many examples of this in Mexico, Panama, the Dominican Republic, the shameful and outrageous economic blockade against Cuba for more than 60 years, and the current criminal actions of Donald Trump against the legal structure of Venezuela. This compels us to reaffirm our struggles, following the example of our liberators,” Villareal Landeros emphasized.
Among other speakers, representatives of the Monterrey-based “People to People” Brigade, in solidarity with Cuba, took the floor.
