Cuban Ambassador participates in International Solidarity Day: “Todos Somos Venezuela”.
The Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Namibia held a forum within the framework of the International Solidarity Day Todos Somos Venezuela. The event was attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba in Namibia, Giraldo Mazola, labour researcher, professor and president of the Viva Workers Trade Union Association, Herbert Jauch, representatives of the Ministry of Youth of Namibia, Namibians graduated from Venezuelan universities, and friends of Venezuela in general.
The Chargé d'Affaires a.i. of Venezuela in Namibia, Edith López, thanked the presence of all those attending the event and pointed out that, in parallel with this forum, a central event is being held in Venezuela and since September 16 representatives of a huge number of countries, in Caracas and in many other parts of the world, are raising their voice in favour of her country.
The diplomat stressed that, once again, Venezuela is being stalked by the imperial threats, which are becoming more and more violent. She emphasized that "Venezuela has a culture of peace and the Bolivarian Revolution has been nothing more than a show of solidarity and love. Despite the struggles we have faced for so many years, we continue to defend our process and our struggle remains the struggle of the peoples of the world, it is the struggle in defense of our sovereignty, our independence and our self-determination. Venezuela is a town of brave and dignified men and women that is why nobody here surrenders. We will continue to win. "
In his participation, Ambassador Giraldo Mazola said that "Venezuela has been an example of international solidarity with all, however, at all costs they want to snatch their natural wealth, which before robbed with self-confidence and with the coexistence of multiple local lackeys whose heirs are now backed by imperialism as a respectable opposition. There is no doubt that the Venezuelan patriots will resist and win, and it is the duty of every honest person in this world to express their solidarity and support and denounce a thousand times the unseen intentions of the American Government to colonize again Bolivar's homeland, Chavez and Mature". He concluded by reiterating that the Venezuelan people want to live in peace and that they have never threatened anyone.
The unionist Herbert Jauch said that Venezuela should be supported to determine its own destiny and defend the progress made. "The redistribution of wealth in favor of the poor, the introduction of participatory democracy, the recognition of Venezuelans of African origin, indigenous Venezuelans and women as key contributors to the country's history and development are achievements that have to be defended. We must reject the hypocritical attempts to portray the Venezuelan government as an oppressive regime that needs to be removed by any necessary means such as economic sanctions and military threats. The massive participation in political and economic decisions through participatory democracy is the path that developed in the Chavez era and must continue to serve Venezuela in the years to come. "
Cuban collaborators who fulfilled mission in Venezuela and young Namibians graduated from Venezuelan universities, agreed that the Bolivarian Revolution is a beautiful process, loaded with love that continues being oriented to the most disadvantaged of Venezuela and the world. Likewise, they came together that their experiences in Venezuela were infinitely enriching in the professional and especially in the human.
