Statement of Solidarity with the Venezuelan People in the Wake of the Earthquakes
DeepL translation
The International Coordination of Revolutionary Parties and Organizations (ICOR), committed to revolutionary ideals, publicly expresses its deepest solidarity with the people of Venezuela in light of the situation they are facing, especially in Caracas and La Guaira, after being struck by two earthquakes just 39 seconds apart.
We mourn the deaths of more than 1,400 people identified so far, as well as the thousands of injured and missing amid the rubble.
We resolutely reject the attempts by U.S. imperialism and its partners on Venezuelan soil, as well as other lackey governments in the region, to exploit this tragedy to advance their control over the country and continue to trample upon the sovereignty of the homeland of Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez Frías.
Faced with this grim scenario of pain and despair, the ICOR calls on all workers of the world and their revolutionary and progressive organizations to join the movement of solidarity with the most vulnerable sectors of our Venezuelan brothers and sisters affected by both earthquakes and, at the same time, to demand the release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Long live international solidarity!
Long live the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela!
International Coordination of Revolutionary Organizations and Parties (ICOR)
