00:01Social and political movements around the world took to the streets on Wednesday to
00:04protest against the ongoing U.S. aggression against Venezuela and to reject the subordination
00:08of international peace organizations to the far right.
00:11Let's take a closer look at the following work.
00:15In Onslow, Norwegian protesters gathered in front of the Nobel Institute arguing that
00:19awarding the peace prize to far-right Venezuelan extremist Maria Corina Machado betrays the
00:24original spirit of the accolade.
00:26Moreover, they underscore that honoring Machado, a figure associated with calling for military
00:30aggression, contradicts Alfred Nobel's will to promote solidarity bonds among nations
00:35and the reduction of armies.
00:36In consequence, demonstrators announced legal action before the County Administrative Board
00:40of Stockholm in Sweden to revoke the prize and demand it to be awarded to true promoters
00:45of peace and disarmament.
00:46In this context, participants also expressed their solidarity with Venezuela and urged the
00:51end of the U.S. aggression in the Caribbean.
00:56Meanwhile, in Italy, political and social organizations based in Turin expressed their support for Venezuela
01:01and warned of the risk of the U.S. military escalation in the Caribbean.
01:05They denounced the Trump administration's attempt to restore an imperialist policy in the region
01:09and urged international movements to mobilize against this threat.
01:13In addition, thousands gathered in the French capital, Paris, near the Eiffel Tower to express
01:20their support for the people and government of Venezuela.
01:22This way, they denounced the interference and political and economic pressure from the United
01:26States, describing the unilateral sanctions, embargoes and attempts at coup d'etat as crimes
01:31against peace.
01:32Meanwhile, in Latin America, Colombian social and trade union organizations mobilized in Bogota
01:37in rejection of the United States foreign policy towards the region, which they denounced as
01:41an interventionist strategy against regional sovereignty.
01:45In this context, participants pointed out that Washington's coercive measures and support
01:49for extremist sectors in countries such as Venezuela evidence a policy aimed at destabilizing governments
01:54to control the natural resources of sovereign nations, and in this scenario, they call on social
01:59movements to unite in a common front in defense of sovereignty and against all forms of intervention.
