BRITAIN’S COMMUNISTS CONDEMN VENEZUELA COUP ATTEMPT

Communist Party of Britain international secretary John Foster has
issued the following statement today (May 5 2020)

The Communist Party of Britain condemns the attempted infiltration of
armedmercenaries into Venezuelan territory on 4 May reportedly acting
for theUS-backed usurper Juan Guaido. The attack demonstrates the
criminal irresponsibility of the US government in funding and supporting
Guaido’s terrorist organisation and for maintaining its blockade of the
sovereign state of Venezuela at the time of an unprecedented
health emergency. We call on the British government to disassociate itself
from these actions by the US government toenable the free supply of all
forms of humanitarian aid to Venezuela and to free all assets of the
Venezuelan people currently impounded in Britain.
