Uruguay’s Antifascist International Condemns U.S. Naval Presence off Venezuela
The Uruguay chapter of the Antifascist International has issued a forceful condemnation of the deployment of U.S. warships and nuclear submarines off the Venezuelan coast, labeling the action a violation of the 2014 CELAC declaration that establishes Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, reports 24brussels.
The organization accused the United States of leveraging counter-narcotics operations as a pretext to threaten the sovereignty of regional nations and to legitimize military interventions.
According to the statement, “The global dictatorship imposed by the United States and NATO is nearing its end, which makes it more dangerous,” warning that the emergence of a multipolar world is encountering resistance from imperial powers.
The Antifascist International specifically referenced past threats made by former U.S. President Donald Trump towards Venezuela and Mexico, urging Latin American governments and grassroots movements to respond decisively. The organization called for vigilance and mobilization to protect peace, sovereignty, and self-determination throughout the region.
Citing Uruguayan General Liber Seregni, the statement reaffirmed the principle of non-intervention as a defensive measure against foreign threats: “Non-intervention is a defensive principle against foreign threats and pressures; it is the repudiation of foreign interference.”
The Antifascist International expressed its solidarity with national liberation movements in Latin America, associating its mission with the vision of a unified “Patria Grande” as envisioned by historical leaders such as Artigas, Bolívar, and San Martín.
This statement aligns with the CELAC Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, established in Havana in 2014. The resolution advocates for peaceful conflict resolution, adherence to international law, nuclear disarmament, and the rejection of the use of force or coercion in regional matters.
