Fighting for the release of Maduro and Cilia is the immediate task for left-wing and popular organizations around the world, in line with the defense of Venezuela’s sovereignty and against US imperialism.
In the early hours of January 3, U.S. forces carried out a large-scale military operation in Caracas, bombing multiple sites in an effort to impose regime change. The operation culminated in the kidnapping of Venezuela’s democratically elected president, Nicolás Maduro, and First Lady Cilia Flores. This direct assault on a sovereign nation, carried out without a declaration of war or Congressional authorization, represents an unprecedented violation of international law. Within a long history of U.S. illegal interventions and military overreach, the operation in Caracas stands as a precedent-setting act aligned with the logic of the Monroe Doctrine and Washington’s renewed push to subordinate Latin America and the Caribbean to its global objectives.

Hands off Venezuela
Witnessing these events is insufficient. What is required now is urgent action and unity among all forces committed to defending sovereignty, to resist this pursuit of hegemony by any means necessary.
