With
all its strength, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) condemns
the US imperialist government under the fascist madman Donald Trump for
carrying out the early morning bombing around the Venezuela's capital
city of Caracas, and perpetrating the patently illegal abduction of
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and his wife Cilia Flores. A number
of civilians have reported to have been killed in the attack.
Simultaneous attacks were carried out by the US in the Venezuelan states
of Miranda, La Guaira and Aragua.
This
US armed assault is a brazen violation of Venezuela's sovereignty. It
was carried out on the false pretext of waging a war against drug
trafficking, in much the same way that the US carried out its invasion
against Iraq almost exactly 30 years ago, on the false justification of
searching for imaginary weapons of mass destruction.
The
clear aim of the US is to overthrow the Maduro government which has
distinguished itself for having upheld the Bolivarian revolution and
militantly defended Venezuela's sovereignty. The US has long shamelessly
declared its intention of effecting "regime change" in Venezuela.
For
many years now, it has subjected the country to crippling economic
sanctions, sabotage, diplomatic pressure, and open threats of military
intervention. Having failed in the past to assassinate Maduro, or win a
majority for the US-funded candidates in previous elections, the Trump
government has now carried barefaced military intervention to abduct
Maduro and remove him from power.
The
US imperialists hope to break the will of the Venezuelan people and
suppress Venezuela's assertion of national sovereignty. They plan to
orchestrate and fund an "unheaval" to install a puppet regime, that will
allow US corporations to grab the country's vast oil reserves (the
world's biggest), and take away the resources that fund Venezuela's free
medical system, free education and other social guarantees.
However,
the military aggression and abduction of Maduro by the US imperialists
is only certain to ignite the patriotic anger of the Venezuelan people
and unite them in resistance against US imperialism. They are certain to
gain the support people of various Latin American countries, who have
had their share of US imperialist oppression.
The
Party, the broad masses of the Filipino people and their revolutionary
forces stand in militant solidarity with the people of Venezuela, who
have long marched under the Bolivarian flag of anti-imperialist
resistance.
The Party calls on all
democracy- and freedom-loving Filipinos to stand by the side of the
Venezuelan people and condemn the US armed assault in Caracas and
abduction of Maduro. They must support the Venezuelan people in their
assertion of their right to determine their own destiny, free from
imperialist sanctions, blockades and military and pressure from the US
and its cohorts.
The Filipino
people must denounce the puppet Marcos regime for hosting US military
bases, and allowing the US to station troops and US large-scale weapons
in the country, turning the country into a target of US rivals. The
Marcos government must be condemned for any actuation supportive of US
intervention in Venezuela or other parts of the world.
The
Party, furthermore, call on the Filipino people to join ranks with
peoples across the world in denouncing US wars of intervention and
threats of war in all parts of the world. Even now, the fascist madman
Trump has declared that the US is ready to carry out armed intervention
in Iran, purportedly in support of anti-government demonstrators. It
also continues to build up its military and naval strength in the South
China Sea, increasing the possibility of igniting an armed conflict with
China.
The Party urges
revolutionary forces around the world, national liberation movements,
and progressive organizations around the world to rouse the people in
support of Venezuela's resistance to US armed aggression. The Party
calls on the American people, in particular, to denounce the Trump
government, and manifest their denunciation of US military intervention.
