US Military Action Against Venezuela Sparks Outrage Among Leftist Parties
Protests Erupt Over US Actions in Venezuela
New Delhi: Leftist parties have condemned the recent US military action in Venezuela, labeling it a clear breach of the UN Charter. This statement was made during a protest held at Jantar Mantar on Sunday, where concerns were raised regarding remarks made by President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The coalition of Left parties, including CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML) Liberation, AIFB, and RSP, expressed their strong disapproval of the US's aggressive stance towards Venezuela, particularly the reported abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and his spouse, Cilia Flores.
In their joint statement, they emphasized that this military intervention constitutes an attack on a sovereign nation, violating international law.
President Trump has openly stated intentions to seize Venezuela's oil reserves, revealing the underlying motives of this military action. Rubio further escalated tensions by suggesting that Cuba and Mexico could be next on the US agenda.
These declarations follow the recent unveiling of the US National Security Strategy 2025, indicating a desire for US dominance globally, even at the cost of military interventions. The Left parties criticized the US for attempting to enforce the Trump corollary of the Monroe Doctrine, which views the Western Hemisphere as its domain.
Reports from Venezuela suggest a significant mobilization of citizens opposing US aggression and defending their national sovereignty.
The Left parties expressed their unwavering support for the Venezuelan populace and called for nationwide demonstrations against US actions, urging solidarity with Latin American nations.
They appealed to all peace-loving and anti-imperialist citizens to join these protests, insisting that the Indian government should align with global voices condemning US aggression and support Venezuela.
Following a bold military operation that ousted Maduro, Trump announced that the US would temporarily govern Venezuela and exploit its oil resources for international sale.
Maduro and his wife were reportedly taken from their residence at a military base and placed on a US warship, facing charges from the Justice Department related to alleged narco-terrorism activities.
