During a significant address at Havana’s Anti-Imperialist Tribune, Cuba’s leadership delivered a vehement condemnation of a recent military operation conducted against Venezuela. The Saturday dawn incursion was characterized as a treacherous act forming part of a broader neo-fascist strategy designed to forcibly overthrow the Venezuelan government and appropriate the nation’s vast natural resources, with petroleum reserves representing a primary target.
The Cuban head of state explicitly dismissed Washington’s justification of combating narco-terrorism as entirely disingenuous, asserting instead that the operation’s true objective involves dismantling the regional integration and resistance project initiated under former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chávez.
In a firm rejection of hemispheric hegemony, the leader unequivocally denounced the Monroe Doctrine and all extraterritorial claims over Latin American territories. The address included a formal demand for the United States to provide immediate proof of life regarding Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his spouse.
Drawing stark parallels to contemporary global conflicts, the Cuban leadership compared the operation’s characteristics to crimes against humanity perpetrated by Israeli Zionism in Gaza, emphasizing numerous violations of international law and ethical standards.
The warning extended beyond regional implications, with the statement characterizing the event not merely as an attack against Venezuela but as a genuine threat to global humanity. The address urgently called upon the international community to mobilize decisively against the advancement of modern fascism disguised as foreign policy.
Concluding with a powerful declaration of solidarity, Cuba reaffirmed its readiness to defend, “with its own blood if necessary,” the independence and sovereignty of the Americas.
