The Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist) Liberation extends its unwavering revolutionary solidarity to the people of Venezuela, to the comrades of the PSUV, and to the comrades of the popular movements who stand at the frontline in defence of national sovereignty, peace, and the Bolivarian process.
We firmly condemn the imperialist provocations carried out by the United States under President Donald Trump. The deployment of nuclear submarines, warships, and other aggressive military assets near Venezuelan territory is a deliberate act of intimidation designed to destabilise the country and pave the way for regime change.
The recent US airstrikes on civilian boats near Venezuelan shores under the fabricated banner of an “anti-narco operation”, together with the launch of the so-called “Spear of the South” operation, follow a familiar imperial script in which manufactured pretexts are used to legitimise unlawful attacks and trample on national sovereignty.
These actions form part of a long and ruthless campaign of economic strangulation and political sabotage, including a brutal blockade aimed at breaking the resolve of the working people and forcing Venezuela to relinquish its sovereignty and its natural wealth to imperialist interests.
These hostile manoeuvres cannot be separated from the wider imperialist offensive unfolding worldwide. The genocidal war on Gaza, the mass displacement of Palestinians, and the unconditional political and military support provided by the United States to Israel expose the same imperial strategy that now targets Venezuela. From Latin America to West Asia, the imperialist agenda remains consistent: military domination, economic blackmail, the suppression of any people who refuse submission, and the seizure of vital resources for profit-hungry capitalist corporations.
Against this violent global order, the resistance of the Venezuelan people stands as a powerful example of dignity and determination. In this critical moment, we reaffirm that the CPI(ML) Liberation stands shoulder to shoulder with the Venezuelan people and with all forces fighting imperialist aggression. The right of the people of Venezuela to determine its own political and economic course is absolute and non-negotiable.
