Venezuela is hope

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is not a threat, all this is part of a campaign by powerful foreign powers (US) to discredit the Venezuelan Revolution.

The decree sponsored by Mr. Obama to declare our country a threat transgresses and disrespects International Law.

Venezuela is sovereign and it will be respected

Venezuela's chancellor asked US government to respect Venezuela's sovereignty Venezuela's foreign minister Delcy Rodriguez posted on her Twitter user a letter for United States Secretary of State John Kerry, requesting him to treat Venezuela with respect, according to the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter.

The letter, dated March 24, 2016, is in response to Kerry's letter giving answer to the invitation by Venezuela to attend the open debate on "The Respect to the Principles and Purposes of the Charter of the UN as Key Elements for the Maintenance of International Peace and Security," held on 15 February.

However, Rodriguez lamented that despite these efforts, there persists what she called open or surreptitious de facto powers, which by military, financial, psychological actions, detrimental to identity, promote hatred and impede governance of popularly elected governments.

Rodriguez reiterated to the US government that if the sovereign equality of States "was respected by those who have historically used excessive force and threats, extraterritorial or unilateral coercive measures against innocent and sovereign peoples, conflict, violence and war would not have tormented countries as diverse as Vietnam, Cuba, Allende's Chile, now passing through Iraq, Libya and Syria, among many other examples of the painful recent history of humanity."

The minister stressed that Venezuela has been one of the victims of these attacks "by the mere fact that it decided to travel on the broad road of participatory Bolivarian democracy and exercise the inalienable right to build its own political and social model, based on inclusion, fighting poverty, promoting education and health for all and the broad civil and political rights enshrined in our Constitution."

She said that despite terrorist actions, media campaigns of disinformation and economic sabotage against Venezuela, "yet we have managed to keep the peace of the Republic and civil and political rights of our citizens."

The minister also mentioned the renewal of the US Government decree against Venezuela, which declares the South American nation an "unusual and extraordinary" threat to the United States. In this regard, she reiterated that the extension of the Executive Order "violates the UN Charter and disregards the clamor of the Venezuelan people and the heads of state of Latin America and other regions of the world that have explicitly demanded to repeal the aberrant statement that considers Venezuela a threat to the United States."

She regretted that the US government does not accept another form of relationship between nations "rather than from a supremacy which our Liberator Simon Bolivar firmly rejected almost 200 years ago."

Furthermore, foreign minister reiterated Venezuela's rejection of terrorism and actions of extreme violence, including wars and stressed that "the only way to rescue peace and security is to prevent threats; interference in the affairs of other nations; territorial, economic, or information blocks, and any form of intervention, which unfortunately have only served to generate the unfortunate number of millions of expatriates, attacked in their hopes, their dignity, and their right to peace and development."

Rodriguez respectfully recommended to Kerry to address the internal affairs of the United States in order to meet the legitimate demands of its people and not the interests of large corporations. www.avn.info.ve

We are convinced that we will successfully overcome this challenge norob oilita

During the twelfth meeting of the Network of Intellectuals and Artists in Defense of Humanity held from the 8th to the 14th April, Argentine political scientist and sociologist, Atilio Borón expressed support and solidarity with the people and Government of Venezuela.

Borón said that such meetings are essential to re-launch an ideological and cultural counteroffensive. Later the intellectual noted that from the continental level the Network will join forces, "because this aggression that Venezuela is receiving is not only addressed to her but to the whole continent and if we do not give a continental battle we are lost, it was very clear to Chavez".

He said that despite the smear campaigns against Venezuela and adversities that have arisen along the way, the people and the Venezuelan government continue to fight. "We are convinced that we will successfully overcome this challenge," Borón said.

In this sense, it is expected that at the conclusion of the meeting, intellectuals sign a document that rejects the actions of economic and media war against the Bolivarian Revolution, and the strategy of declining oil prices, agreed by the major powers.

Hugo Chávez has been an example of socialism in the world The Italian philosopher and member of the Network of Intellectuals and Artists in Defense of Humanity, Gianni Vattimo, in his visit to the homeland of Bolivar expressed solidarity with the people and the Bolivarian Government against the neoliberal onslaught.

Vattimo said that for European leftists, Chávez has been the demonstration that non Soviet socialism exists, "we can have hope in socialism, Chavez proved it accompanied with Fidel who has been over many years the democratic light against United States in Latin America."

In his studies the Italian philosopher and intellectual reaffirms that Western policy should follow the model of Commander Chavez for the emergence and development of their people, mentioned in his book “Hermeneutic Communism " that was dedicated to the big progressive people of Latin America like Hugo Chávez, Lula Da Silva and Evo Morales.
