The threat currently looming over Venezuela, as a result of the irrational U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean, also represents a danger to the region and all of Latin America, which has been declared a Zone of Peace since 2014.

This was denounced by Cuba before the second session of the Standing Committee of the Forum for the Freedom of Nations, held in Sochi, Russia, in which a delegation from the Communist Party of Cuba participated, led by Emilio Lozada García, head of the International Relations Department of the Central Committee.

In addition to reiterating the support of the largest of the Antilles for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and the popular-military-police merger, Lozada García condemned the direct aggression that also constitutes the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. government on Cuba, a genocidal policy expressly rejected in the final declaration of the Forum, which brought together representatives of more than 60 political parties from the Global South.

In another session, called BRICS Europe, he stressed that strengthening this mechanism is essential for achieving a new international order that is fair, democratic, and equitable.

Venezuela rejects statements by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights

CARACAS, Venezuela.— The Venezuelan Parliament, in a meeting this Tuesday, decided to approve a set of laws to take care and protect the population from hate, terrorism and the dissemination of fascist ideas in social networks, declared the president of the National Assembly (AN), Jorge Rodríguez.
These are the Law of Control, Performance and Financing of Non-Profit Organizations and the Law against Fascism, Neo-Fascism and Similar Expressions. The latter had been presented in April by the Executive Vice-President, Delcy Rodríguez.
After the parliamentary meeting, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, urged the Venezuelan Government “not to adopt these or other laws that undermine the civic and democratic space of the country.” He also referred to alleged “arbitrary detentions” and the “disproportionate use of force by law enforcement agencies.”
In view of these “intemperate declarations,” the Chancellor, Yván Gil issued a communiqué in which he rejects them “in the strongest terms.”
He emphasized that the High Commissioner deliberately omits the condemnation of the terrorist and fascist events that took place during the presidential elections.
Finally, he reiterated his call for Turk “to desist from his provocative attitude, to cease his brutal attack against Venezuelan institutions and to take the side of the victims of the ultra-right-wing violence that, using fascist methods, has tried to inflict harm on the Venezuelan population.”

Venezuela, When violence is a mask for impotence and illegitimacy

CARACAS, Venezuela.—A total of 924 Human Rights organizations and movements from different parts of the world signed a communiqué in which they recognize “the democratic legitimacy and authority of the National Electoral Council and, consequently, the decision to award the victory of this process to President Nicolás Maduro.”
The document signed, among others, by representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Chile, Spain, United States, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Serbia, urges to respect the life, health and safety of all people, while condemning the acts of vandalism committed by supporters of the extreme right, defeated at the polls.
In this sense, the Attorney General of the Republic, Tarek William Saab, informed that there is no arrest warrant against María Corina Machado and Edmundo González Urrutia, main promoters of the terrorist guarimbas of the last days.
“There is a general investigation that has had as a direct effect the arrest of people burning public headquarters with people inside,” and added that whoever makes a call to facts linked to acts of terrorism will be arrested.
In the exhortation for an atmosphere of peace to reign, “a sincere appeal to all parties to seek the truth, to exercise moderation, to avoid any kind of violence, to solve conflicts through dialogue, to take into account the true good of the population and not partisan interests,” Pope Francis made yesterday in favor of Venezuela, after praying the Sunday Angelus, in St. Peter’s Square.

Alongside the Venezuelan people, Cuba celebrates the heroic popular uprising that returned Comandante Chávez to the Presidency 20 years ago, tweeted Communist Party First Secretary and President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, adding that the attempted 2002 coup was intended to resurrect the country’s dismal past.
The coup against Chávez was launched the night of April 8, at a reception for military attachés at the Meliá Caracas hotel, when Venezuelan General Roberto González Cárdenas silently accepted the business card of U.S. Navy officer David H. Cazares.
“When the United States recognized in Hugo Chávez an indomitable political leader who was promoting fundamental change on the continent, it was decided that the Bolivarian Revolution must be aborted,” noted former diplomat and writer Germán Sánchez Otero, Cuban ambassador to the country at the time of the events, adding, “It was a coup designed by U.S. experts.”
In his book April uncensored, Sánchez explains the motives behind the coup, recalling that, on April 6, 2002, a top secret CIA report noted that dissident military factions, including disgruntled officers and lower-ranking radicals, were intensifying efforts to overthrow President Chávez, “as soon as this month.”
The U.S. continues to hatch plots like that of April 11, 2002, and repeats the blundering of Cazares, who mistook a general loyal to Chávez as a coup leader, and was obliged confess his error.
The message that Chávez entrusted to then-ambassador Sánchez also remains: “Tell Fidel not to worry; if there is a coup, the people and the Armed Forces will defeat it.”
