00:05Various social organizations, union leaders, human rights defenders,
00:09and Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Perez-Squivel attended to the event.
00:13Our colleague Fabián Restivo shares the details.
00:16The Central Workers Union of Argentina called for an ongoing rally in response to U.S. aggressions against Venezuela.
00:24Prominent Argentine leaders attending, surrounding, and listening attentively
00:28to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Perez-Squivel.
00:33These direct attacks on ships that disagree with them,
00:39the death of innocent people, are crimes that must be denounced.
00:46We must take this to the International Criminal Court
00:48so that Trump is judged as a criminal against the peoples of the world.
00:52not just against Venezuela, but against the peoples of the world.
01:01Ariel Basteiro, former Argentine ambassador to Bolivia, speak from his expertise.
01:07As a diplomat, I am surprised by this position of Trump and the United States,
01:15overriding all legislations, all international agreements,
01:19and ignoring international bodies like the UN, or the OAS.
01:25They are not respecting the rights and sovereignty of countries.
01:28We are in a different, new, and unfortunate stage in the world,
01:33and much of this is the responsibility of the United States, the Yankees,
01:38who believe they own, at least, what they call the backyard.
01:43The leader of the state workers' association, Manuel Sueiro, was firm in his opinions.
01:55Undoubtedly, it is a criminal act.
01:57It is an attempt to strip the countries of the region,
02:00primarily of their democratic systems, but profoundly of their natural resources.
02:05We are living in an era of imperialism in its most bloodthirsty and abhorrent version.
02:09And Atilio Borón.
02:11Atilio Borón, Argentine sociologist and former companion and noble causes,
02:15highlighted the initiative.
02:18A great presence of personalities from a multitude of social organizations,
02:23solidarity groups, trade unions, and political organizations,
02:27all in solidarity with the Venezuelan people and the Venezuelan government,
02:32who are being subjected to an escalating aggression by imperialism.
02:36National Deputy Juan Marino presented a bill for all members of the Congress to take a stance,
02:43and Roberto Barralo, General Secretary of the Argentine Teachers Union,
02:47shared his opinion on the matter.
02:50We cannot accept that the United States is carrying out the largest military buildup in the region in decades,
02:57with the most powerful warship in the world, the USS Gerald Ford,
03:00threatening us every day in the Caribbean Sea,
03:03and the Fourth Fleet deployed in our region.
03:05We cannot remain silent.
03:06We cannot wait until the bombings start on the ground in Venezuela to voice our opinion.
03:12No to military intervention in Venezuela.
03:16We stand for the self-determination of peoples, for peace and sovereignty,
03:20alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel.
03:24Nadie faltó a la convocación.
03:27No one missed a call which got our 200 institutions.
03:31We come to stay present and, most importantly,
03:36to repudiate Yankee interference and interventionism in Latin America,
03:40and especially in our beloved Venezuela.
03:42from Buenos Aires, for TELESUR.
