The executive secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America—People's Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), Rander Peña, held a meeting this Tuesday with 534 leaders of political parties and social movements from 68 countries around the world, to reaffirm international solidarity in the face of threats and actions from the United States (USA).

Through his social networks, Peña indicated that “it was a space for reflection and collective action, where we confirm that the truth and dignity of our peoples cannot be silenced .”

He explained that they addressed issues such as the complaint of the Heroine Mother Movement against the kidnapping of more than 66 Venezuelan children by the United States, “one of the most serious violations of human rights and human dignity, which requires condemnation and visibility in every corner of the planet.”

They also condemned Washington's attempts to break the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace (Havana, 2014), through threats against peace in the region. “North American interventionism tries to bring the region back to times of invasions and guardianships that have already been defeated by the struggle of our peoples,” criticized Peña.

During the meeting, the Secretary of the integration block described as mythomaniac the statement of the US Attorney General, Pamela Bondi, who announced “a reward of 50 million dollars for the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. A legal and political aberration that offends not only Venezuela, but the entire region that defends sovereignty and international law.”

Finally, Peña said, the participants in the videoconference meeting rejected the new attempt of North American imperialism to use those who were once militant on the left, “but were captured and infiltrated through NGOs, to sow division and fracture in our popular movements.”

“This meeting reaffirms that international solidarity cannot be given up or bought. That, in the face of every aggression, the voice of free peoples emerges stronger, united in the defense of peace, sovereignty and social justice,” he emphasized.
