The general secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI), D. Raja, reiterated his solidarity with Cuba, Venezuela, the Palestinians, and other peoples who are currently facing direct imperialist aggression and threats.
The statement of support was made at a mass rally for the centenary of the political organization in Telangana, which was attended by Cuban Ambassador Juan Carlos Marsán and the state’s prime minister, Revanth Reddy, among other guests.
Also from India, the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) of Liberation denounced the intimidation and imperialist threats of the United States against Cuba, as well as the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the Yankee government on the island.
In a letter signed by its general secretary, Dipankar Bhattacharya, the organization expressed its support for the Communist Party of Cuba and paid tribute to the 32 martyrs who defended the banner of internationalism and anti-imperialist solidarity, Prensa Latina reported.
“Today, as the world faces U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to impose a new order of colonial subjugation, the Cuban people’s steadfast resistance against more than six decades of illegal, inhumane, and genocidal blockade by the United States stands as a beacon of hope and inspiration for all peoples struggling around the world,” the text acknowledges.
The Italian Communist Party, in a tribute to Fidel on his 100th birthday, dedicated a minute of silence in honor of the combatants of the Greater Antilles. Angelo Lombardo, its secretary general, stressed at the meeting that, “Cuba is currently the greatest example of dignity and the most heroic force.”
For its part, the French solidarity organization Cuba Linda highlighted in a statement that the heroes fell “in fulfillment of their internationalist duty, sacred to the Cuban Revolution,” defending the sovereignty of a brother people.
The organization called for broader mobilization in solidarity with Cuba and Venezuela and demanded that the continent’s leaders take a stand in defense of international law and the sovereignty of peoples.

Cuba and Venezuela, united in honor and struggle

The tricolor flag at half-mast, a moment of prayer, seven artillery salvos, the certainty of eternity, because it was done with nobility… all the gratitude of the Bolivarian people.
Venezuela, and also Cuba, were moved the day before as they paid tribute to the heroes of both nations who, like an impregnable wall, “in unequal combat faced the imperialist enemy that desecrated the sovereignty of the Venezuelan homeland and protected the constitutional President, Nicolás Maduro Moros.”
The island was present at the ceremony, held at the Eclectic Monument of the Military Academy of the Bolivarian National Guard, because in the words of Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau and Minister of Foreign Affairs, “honor and glory to the fallen combatants. Love and peace to the Venezuelans murdered by the imperialist horde.”
Cuba’s deepest solidarity with the brave people came in the name of Army General Raúl Castro Ruz and the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, who, through X, also conveyed his heartfelt condolences and assured that “we share with the people and the Government of Venezuela the pain of seeing brothers and sisters murdered by the imperialist invader (…) We will not cease to denounce this criminal act,” he insisted.
For his part, the Foreign Minister reiterated the commitment to fight together and win, “loyal to the thinking of Bolívar and Martí, following the eternal memory of Chávez and Fidel in the year of their centenary.”
“The Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution and the Cuban Revolution, in their destinies and in their common struggle, will be examples for the liberation of the peoples of our America. We will continue our work in defense of peace, in international mobilization, in the campaign in defense of international law and the right to life and peace of the peoples, for the liberation of the constitutional President, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and our comrade Cilia Flores,” he said, after receiving, from Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, a posthumous Offering of Honor to the 32 Cubans who fell in combat against U.S. forces.
“The brothers of Cuba, sons of Martí and Fidel, are also heroes of this homeland,” said Delcy Rodríguez, “because as one people they fought in defense against the illegal and illegitimate aggression” of the United States. “We are united in love; our concept of homeland is that the homeland is humanity,” she said.
The president recalled the words of Simón Bolívar: freedom is the only goal worthy of human sacrifice. She emphasized that during last Saturday’s attack, “no one surrendered; here there was combat for this homeland, for our liberators, Bolívar, Miranda, Sucre, Ribas, Urdaneta, Manuela Sáenz, Ezequiel Zamora, for Chávez and for Venezuela.” That, she said, is the greatest satisfaction.

Cuba strongly condemns the cowardly aggression of the United States against Venezuela

The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the military aggression of the United States against Venezuela, while categorically reiterating Cuba’s absolute support and solidarity with the sister Bolivarian Republic and its government. It supports the statement by Executive Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and endorses her demand that the US government provide proof of life for constitutional President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Cilia Flores, as well as the determination of the Bolivarian and Chavista government and its people to reject the aggression and defend their independence and sovereignty.

The cowardly U.S. aggression is a criminal act that violates international law and the UN Charter. It constitutes a dangerous escalation of the war campaign waged for years by the United States against that sister nation, which has intensified since September 2025 with the aggressive naval deployment in the Caribbean Sea, under false pretexts and unfounded accusations without any evidence.

Cuba emphatically demands the immediate release by the U.S  authorities of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and his wife Cilia Flores.

This is a blatant imperialist and fascist aggression with objectives of domination, which seeks to revive the United States’ hegemonic ambitions over Our America, anchored in the Monroe Doctrine, and the goal of having unrestricted access to and control over the natural resources of Venezuela and the region. It also seeks to intimidate and subjugate the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The consequences of this irresponsible act remain to be seen. The U.S. government, President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State, together with the aggressive elements and enemies of Latin America and the Caribbean who have acquired so much political influence in that country, bear full responsibility for the deaths and the human and material damage already caused, and which may result from the aggression.

The governments of the region, representing their peoples, unanimously signed the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace in January 2014 in Havana, an aspiration that is now under attack by the United States.

The international community cannot allow an aggression of this nature and gravity against a UN Member State to go unpunished, nor can it allow the legitimate and sitting president of a sovereign country to be kidnapped in a military operation without facing consequences. Venezuela is a peaceful country that has not attacked the United States or any other nation.

For that sister nation and its people, we are willing to give, as we did for Cuba, even our own blood.

The Revolutionary Government calls on all governments, parliaments, social movements, and peoples of the world to condemn the United States’ military aggression against Venezuela and to confront this act of state terrorism that threatens international peace and security and seeks to impose a new doctrine of domination by U.S. imperialism in the world and in Latin America and the Caribbean in particular.

All nations in the region must be alert, for the threat hangs over them all. In Cuba, our determination to fight is firm and unyielding. There is only one decision: Homeland or Death.

We shall overcome!

Escalation of aggression by the United States government against Venezuela

The Cuban delegation participating in the Peoples’ Assembly for Sovereignty and Peace in Our America wishes to make public its support for the communiqué from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela denouncing “the blatant theft and act of international piracy” constituted by the assault and seizure of an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea.

Our delegation condemns this new and extremely serious step in the escalation of aggression by the United States government against Venezuela, which comes just after the announcement of the so-called U.S. National Security Strategy, which, 200 years after its inception, revives the abominable Monroe Doctrine through the so-called “Trump Corollary.”

As the Bolivarian Communiqué states, the true objective of the imperial offensive against sister Venezuela has been exposed: the obsessive desire to appropriate its natural resources. This is a demonstration of everything that this declining empire, refusing to accept the irreversible advent of a multipolar international order, is willing to do to impose its agenda and interests on our peoples.

We call on all movements, organizations, and dignified individuals in the region and around the world to join us in denouncing this infamy.
