00:00On Friday, the Cuban people condemned the actions of U.S. imperialism against Venezuela
00:05in an act of solidarity that took place in front of the statue of Liberator Simón Bolívar
00:10on President's Avenue in Havana.
00:13In response to the recent approval of covert CIA operations against the Bolivarian nation
00:18by the Donald Trump administration, the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the
00:22Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel, presided
00:28the event in support of Venezuela and his counterpart Nicolás Maduro.
00:32In this scenario, the Cuban people denounced the threat of war to which the Caribbean is
00:37subjected due to U.S. interference and remembered the historical ties that unite Cubans and Venezuelans.
00:44The key speech of the event was in charge of the member of the political bureau, Roberto
00:47Morales Ojeda, who made it clear that in this context of constant aggression against the people
00:54of Latin America, Venezuela is not alone.
01:02We are united by the conviction, by the decision that nothing will stop the Bolivarian revolution.
01:10That certainty was already expressed by the revolutionary leader, Cuban revolutionary leader, General of
01:19the President of the Army, Raúl Castro Cruz and also President Nicolás Maduro in 2017.
01:27Nicolás Maduro expressed for sure there will come days of strong, strong battle of international
01:34harassment, of blockades, of limitations, but also it will be days of creation of work for
01:40the revolutionaries and the whole people of Venezuela, as it has been showing until today.
01:48It is not alone and will have Cubans in the first line of the struggle, more committed with
01:54their cause than ever.
01:55That's the end of the quote.
01:58For his part, the Vice President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Pedro Infante,
02:03highlighted the strong bonds that unite the peoples of Cuba and Venezuela.
02:15Venezuela and Cuba are brotherly peoples who represent the legacy of struggle for liberation
02:20and independence, embodied by Bolivar and San Martin, whose flags are an essential part
02:26of the Cuban revolution and the Bolivarian revolution.
02:29We are nations of peace whose peoples and governments are victims of supremacism and terrorism by U.S.
02:36imperialism and its war-seeking lobbyists.
02:43Moreover, Infante condemned the acts of xenophobia and the criminalization of Latin American migrants
02:49by the United States government.
02:54From this place, we join the call made by our President Nicolas Maduro to condemn the xenophobic
03:01statements comparing the Venezuelan identity to criminal groups.
03:07We also denounce and reject the campaign against Latin American migrants and their extrajudicial persecution
03:14in the United States.
03:16We welcome and appreciate the dignified, exemplary position taken by President Diaz-Canel, when
03:23he pointed out on September 24, when he began the process of collecting signatures in solidarity
03:29with Venezuela, urging that military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela be prevented.
