The Executive Secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), Rander Peña, emphasized that “based on the leadership of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, we must defend, with all our strength, the life of the nation, which is to defend sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
In that regard, he argued that “today, with this force, we tell the United Nations (UN), do what they have to do: which is to guarantee peace!”
He said this during his participation, in the great mobilization of the Venezuelan people at the UN headquarters in Caracas, to deliver a message to the multilateral body and demand that the criminal military threats of the United States against the country cease.
Peña stressed that “there is no room for lukewarmth; lukewarmth is a disease and lukewarm people are lukewarm not out of conviction, but out of fear.”
He stated that before the headquarters of the UN, the People demand that these officials fulfill and work on the task for which it was founded, which is nothing other than preserving the peace and sovereignty of the member States.
He recalled that, in 2014, the Latin American and Caribbean presidents, with the presence of the Venezuelan head of state, signed in Havana, Cuba, the unanimous declaration of the Zone of Peace in the region.
“The Peoples of the world demand peace. Today, we are 98% of Venezuelans who want peace to be respected in Latin America and the Caribbean,” said the Deputy Minister for Latin America.
“There are no middle terms to understand peace, you don't understand peace more or less, you don't defend peace more or less, you defend yourself and the people defend peace. You defend peace with life or you don't defend it,” he said.
He added that “this is what the Venezuelan people are doing: defending our peace with our own lives (...) Long live the Venezuelan people, long live peace, long live Venezuela, long live Nicolás Maduro Moros!”
