This Friday evening, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, held a meeting with representatives of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest left-leaning political organization in the United States. In this sense, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela strengthens ties of cooperation, brotherhood and solidarity with activists and the people of the United States who fight for democracy and values such as peace and sovereignty of the peoples of the world, to strengthen the fight against the blockade and the coercive and unilateral measures imposed by the government of the United States. . . . The organization promotes the principles of democracy and working class struggle, and it is estimated that more than 100,000 people are members. . . .

In 2016, the DSA released a statement of support with the Venezuelan regime and its citizens, demanding that former President Barack Obama revoke the sanctions imposed on Venezuela. “We call on the President and Congress to reverse these actions and stop seeking to undermine the Venezuelan people and their legitimate, democratically elected government,” the DSA said. . . . Democratic Socialist legislators have yet to outright denounce Maduro. In 2019, Ocasio-Cortez called the country’s crisis a “complex issue” and advised that “we approach” it “very carefully” after saying she opposed U.S. intervention into Venezuela if spearheaded by Trump administration. ### -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
