SimĂłn BolĂvar Coordinating Committee (Venezuela): It is neither aid nor cooperation; it is a silent invasion!
To the peoples of the world, to grassroots activists, and to the Bolivarian conscience:
From the trenches of popular power and revolutionary critical thought, the SimĂłn BolĂvar Coordinating Committee raises its anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist voice to expose the crude geopolitical maneuver currently being disguised as "solidarity."
Under the false narrative of humanitarianism, humanity's two greatest enemiesâthe US empire and international Zionismâare carrying out a silent invasion against national sovereignty, exploiting the suffering of the people of La Guaira to advance their plans for territorial control and the plundering of the Homeland's strategic resources.
It is an act of supreme cynicism for Donald Trump and Washingtonâs spokespersons to style themselves as "friends" of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Historical memory and the dignity of the people cannot be bought or broken: a friend does not kidnap the Head of State and Governmentâlegitimately re-elected on July 28, 2024ânor does a friend act as an accomplice to the murder of a hundred compatriots.
A friend does not strangle an entire country's economy with over a thousand illegal sanctions, nor withhold financial resources that belong to the Venezuelan people. If the empire truly wished to help Venezuela, the recipe is clear: lift the blockade, return the stolen money, and take its claws off our homeland.
In the face of media manipulation, it is imperative to distinguish genuine international cooperation from neocolonial opportunism. We at the Coordinating Committee wish to express our deepest, revolutionary gratitude to the more than 4,000 rescue workers whoâacting with a true humanitarian spirit and selflessnessâhave extended a hand of solidarity, saving lives and providing direct support in the affected areas; as well as to the more than 31 countries worldwide that have actively joined this cause based on mutual respect. This is the legitimate solidarity between peoplesâthe kind that heals and buildsâwhich stands in ethical contrast to the advance of those who use tragedy as a spearhead for intervention.
We vehemently denounce the attempted interference by Zionist corporations and missions in the reconstruction of La Guaira state. The very genocidal apparatus that is currently carrying out the extermination of the heroic Palestinian people, bombing Lebanon, and attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran, is the same one now seeking to normalize its military and logistical presence on our sacred soil.
The presence of 300 U.S. relief workers and an alarming 2,000 U.S. military personnel in the territoryâcompounded by the arrogant declarations from Southern Command asserting they will not withdrawâconstitutes a flagrant assault on regional peace and a disguised occupation.
This offensive is nothing less than a direct, de ââfacto violation of:
The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela: Which enshrines sovereignty and independence as inalienable rights of the Nation and strictly prohibits the establishment of foreign bases or covert military missions.
The United Nations Charter: Whose principles of self-determination, non-intervention, and state sovereignty are trampled daily by imperialism.
International Law: By breaching treaties and agreements of mutual respect between nations.
We issue an urgent appeal to the conscience of the Venezuelan people. The true driving force behind this silent invasion is not the well-being of our people, but geostrategic interest in a territory possessing the planet's largest oil reserves. The people of La Guairaâwho deserve to bury their loved ones with the utmost dignity and receive immediate care from the sovereign Stateâmust not be used as a Trojan horse to allow humanityâs executioners to establish a foothold in our territory.
Grassroots solidarity does not militarize; it cooperates without conditions.
Imperialism and Zionism out of the land of BolĂvar and ChĂĄvez!
Sovereignty is not up for negotiation; it is defended by the organized people!
Independence and Socialist Homeland!
