More than 50 000 people attended this Friday at dawn the act in solidarity with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the act took place in Havana right in front of the monument to El Libertador Simón Bolívar, and against the increasing pressures and threats made by the government of the United States against that nation.

 

Headed by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the act included a delegation of Venezuela headed by Pedro Infante, vice-president of organizations of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela) and the first vice-president of the National Assembly of Venezuela. Also present were the Prime Minister,  Manuel Marrero Cruz, and the secretary of Organization of the Central Committee of the Party, Roberto Morales Ojeda, both members of the Political Bureau, together with party leaders, government and mass organizations and the Cuban Instituto of Friendship with the Peoples (Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos).

 

The president gave Infante a picture and a book of signatures headed by the leader of the Cuban Revolution and General of Cuban Army, Raúl Castro Ruz, the result of the backing in centers of workers, students and the community, prompted by the declaration of the Revolutionary Cuban government: «It is urgent to prevent a military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (la República Bolivariana de Venezuela)».

 

Among his central words Morales Ojeda affirmed that more than 4 300 000 signatures, a symbol of Latin American and Caribbean unity, were collected. He stated, «may you receive these signatures as the greatest and most eloquent token of love that can be offered to a sister nation».

 

He also confirmed the invariable support of the Party and Government of Cuba to president Nicolás Maduro. «We are one trench, only one heart and two peoples».


Pedro Infante defined the Cuban people as heroic, noble and supportive and shared with the present the gratitude of President Maduro and millions of Venezuelans. «I thank the Cuban people for their solidarity and firmness», he said, affirming that both Cuba and Venezuela are nations of peace, victims of the terrorism of the imperialism of the United States. He added also that «Cuba is a moral symbol of dignity and struggle against imperialism, proving that yes, it is possible to win and live with dignity».
