VENEZUELA-SOLIDARITET: Tusentals basker på gatorna i Bilbao för att visa sin solidaritet med Venezuela och fördöma USA:s krigshot





VENEZUELA-SOLIDARITET:
Tusentals basker på gatorna i Bilbao för att visa sin solidaritet med Venezuela och fördöma USA:s krigshot

Igår demonstrerade tusentals basker på gatorna i Bilbao för Venezuela och mot försöken att vrida historiens klocka tillbaka ett drygt sekel, mot Monroedoktrinen som ger den krigiska eliten i Washington den självpåtagna rätten att invadera länder och folk för att plundra dem på sina naturresurser.

I det uttalande som togs när demonstrationen hade anlänt till torget anklagas ”USA:s regering i allians med den venezuelanska oppositionen, USA:s satellitregeringar i Latinamerika och de korporativa medierna med stöd av politiska aktörer inom EU, som den spanska och baskiska regeringen för att tvinga det venezuelanska folket till en total underkastelse. Målet? Att störta den folkvalde president Nicolás Maduro, destabilisera landet och påtvinga landet en marionettregering som garanterar den korporativa makten kontrollen över olja, gas, coltan och guld i Venezuela”.

Uttalandet uppmärksammar att Trump nu har valt att accelera undermineringprocessen genom att ha utsett en statskuppsmarionett som kallar sig `interrimspresident´ samt utsett Elliott Abrams till ett ”speciellt sändebud för Venezuela”. Det är samma Abrams som är ytterst ansvarig, i egenskap som ”speciellt sändebud för Centralamerika”, för tusentals brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna i Centralamerika under USA:s krig i denna region under 1980-talet.

Det baskiska solidaritetsuttalandet markerar även sitt fördömande mot alla slags former av sabotage för att upprätthålla samhällslivet i form av attackerna mot elsystemet, frysandet av 30 miljarder dollar (270 miljarder sv/kr), sanktioner och blockader av all slags handel som inköp av mediciner.

Det baskiska folket visar vägen för övriga europeiska folk, att inte låta sig underkastas en despotisk fascistiska junta i Vita Huset som, om den får styra utan att folken protesterar, kommer att förverkliga imperialisternas dröm om att lägga under sig världen.

Demonstrationen och presskommunikén stöddes av ett 40-tal partier, rörelser och landsorganisationer i Baskien.

At the end of the march the following communique was read:
Venezuela aurrera! Not to Strike! 

The US government, in alliance with the Venezuelan opposition, satellite governments in Latin America and the mainstream media, and with the complicity of political actors in the European Union such as the Basque and Spanish governments, subject to the Venezuelan people to a total siege. The goal: to overthrow the elected President Nicolas Maduro, destabilizing the country and impose a puppet government to ensure their corporate power oil, gas, coltan and gold from Venezuela.

After five years of economic war, violence of fascist groups (guarimbas) of attempted military coup and assassination, the government of Donald Trump has decided to step on the accelerator has placed a coup puppet as "interim president" (John Guaidó ); named as "special charge of US for Venezuela" one of the criminals responsible for the dirty war in Central America in the 80 (Elliott Abrams); and passed all kinds of sanctions and financial blockade the country have been frozen -and 30 billion of Venezuelan-state. 
In March, even, was attacked the electrical system of the country, leaving the population, twice in one month without electricity, water, transportation and telephone for days.

The independent former UN rapporteur Alfred de Zayas characterized this attack as a "crime against humanity".

But the corporate media , also the Basques spread all kinds of fake news and messages from psychological warfare to justify the siege and possible intervention. They talk about "humanitarian aid" whose value is 1,500 times less than the theft of public assets Venezuelans, of "interference in Cuba" -silenciando that Guaidó proposes expelling 20,000 health cooperators comunitaria- of "mismanagement" economic -while Euroclear and British banks have retained more than 2,500 million Venezuelan - state; "lack of medicines" -while governments like Colombia or Spain have prevented the purchase or shipment of these inputs-. There can be no greater cynicism.

This economic, diplomatic and media siege aims to jeopardize the national sovereignty of Venezuela and the process regaining national control of natural resources, empowered and gave voice to millions of people before invisible, shielded social rights, developed mechanisms of participatory democracy and protagónica and urged solidarity mechanisms of integration in Latin America.

Although it censor the media, there is a cry of indignation and solidarity with the Venezuelan people worldwide and have been many gestures of solidarity that has received the people of Venezuela. From Euskal Herria call to respect Venezuela's sovereignty, respect for the government and its institutions and respect for the popular will expressed on many occasions. We denounce this new attempt to intervene and support the mechanisms of dialogue open for more than a dozen Latin American countries.

That is why in Euskal Herria have returned to go outside to once again say No to the coup, interference and war! And also, clearly, Pa'lante Venezuela!
From Venezuela! ¡No to the coup! 

The US government, venezolarrarekin opposition, Latin American government satellites, big media and the European Union, with the complicity of some political actors - including the Government and the Spanish government, the persecution of the people of Venezuela. The goal: to dismiss elected president Nicolas Maduro, the establishment of a puppet government in the country destabilized and corporate power of Venezuelan oil, gas, coltan and gold guarantee.

Five-year-old economic war, violence fascist groups (guarinbak), after the military coup attempt which magnizidio, Donald Trump's government has decided to press on the accelerator: a puppet involved in the coup, "interim president" set (Juan Guaidó); Criminally responsible for the dirty war in Central America in the 80s was "responsible for the US Venezuela special" set (Elliott Abrams); and also various types of financial sanctions and economic blockade of the set - already 30 thousand million euros and the United venezolarrarenak dollars frozen ones. Moreover, in March, the country's electrical system was attacked, people, twice a month, for several days, light, water, transport and leaving without a phone.

United Nations independent expert was Alfred de Zayas "crime against humanity" is characterized as the latest attacks.

But media koporatiboek - fake news of all kinds, including the Basques and the well-known psychological war against Venezuela to spread messages and potential persecution in order to justify a military intervention. "Humanitarian aid" is - venezolar 1500 times less than the value of which was the theft of public assets, "Cuban intervention," it is important that - communities working Guaidók proposed the expulsion of 20,000 Cuban doctors who silenced while ago, the economy "poor management" has to be - Euroclear by the British banking in the United venezolarrarenak 2500 million dollars while the retention; "Lack of medicines" that they - the governments of Colombia and Spain that prevented while the purchase or shipping. They are not to be cynical.  

Economic persecution, diplomats and the media to reduce Venezuela's national sovereignty. This process is to regain control of the natural resources that were previously invisible to the millions of citizen empowerment and voice, will guarantee the social rights, democracy and participation and to develop mechanisms for protagoniko solidarity mechanisms to promote integration between the peoples of Latin America, among others. 

Although censorship of the media, the world of anger is evident from what is happening in Venezuela, and many gestures of solidarity with the Venezuelan people. In the Basque Country the sovereignty of Venezuela, its government and its institutions invite respect and, at the same time, respect the will of the people expressed on several occasions.

For all this, we have to go out once again to the citizens of this new coup attempt, outside intervention and to say no to war and Venezuela on loud! shout a round.
