Full text of the statement:
The JVP, in the strongest possible terms, condemns the terrorist attempt carried out against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the government of Nicolas Maduro early morning on 3rd May. The blatant attempt that had been carried out from Columbia, with definitely the awareness of world imperialism, was thwarted by the Bolivarian Armed forces and special action police killing some terrorists and arresting several others. The intention of the terrorists directed by imperialism, according to Venezuelan Ministry of Interior, Peace and Justice, was to “commit terrorist acts in the country, like carrying out assassinations of leaders of the revolutionary government, while also promoting violence across the South American nation”.
It seems that imperialists lead by the USA attempt to use the global pandemic situation to carry out their criminal agendas and destabilize legitimate states of the people in a bid to slow the forward march of the progressive movements in the world. The imperialists’ need to sabotage the march towards progress and Socialism is vividly displayed from various sanctions that have been imposed on progressive governments such as Cuba, Venezuela and various interferences and the attempts of terrorist attacks like the one that was carried out against Venezuela.
Such vile acts being carried out by imperialism and its lackeys can be turned back only with the solidarity and support of the progressive forces in the world. We call upon all progressive forces, democrats left-oriented people to condemn these heinous acts of imperialists and their lackeys and especially the most recent terrorist attempt on the government and the people of Venezuela, and demand that all actions to interfere in the internal affairs of countries be rejected by all those who cherish, progress and democracy.
Long live International Solidarity!
Long live Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela!
