No Coup d'État in Venezuela!
Support the Democratically Elected President, Nicolás Maduro.
The leaders of more than 120 countries expressed their congratulations and support for the election of President Maduro and 90 countries sent delegations to the inauguration ceremony in Caracas on January 10, 2019. At this time we are witnessing a brutal and despicable media campaign of disinformation to manufacture a humanitarian crisis and economic collapse to justify interfering in the internal affairs of Venezuela and imposing the U.S. goal of regime change in contempt of the will of the Venezuelan people. The U.S. imperialists and a handful of collaborator countries like Canada have even sunk to the level of declaring that the President of the Legislative Assembly of Venezuela, Juan Guaidó, should replace Maduro as President. This is a flagrant violation of the Constitution of Venezuela as the National Assembly has been declared in contempt by the Supreme Court. Under the guise of defending democracy, this action promoted by the U.S. is nothing more than a coup d'état with a president imposed through foreign interference in violation of the Constitutional order in Venezuela. In the past few days, in typical mafia style, both U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton and Senator Marco Rubio have openly called for the Venezuelan military to overthrow President Maduro. These despicable actions deserve the full condemnation of all peoples who defend democracy and the sovereignty of Venezuela. The Venezuelan people will not accept this dictate in violation of their democratic choice and in violation of international law. As President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro has declared that the government will continue its repeated appeals to the opposition for political dialogue for a peaceful resolution of the problems facing the nation. This is the only path forward for all patriotic forces who defend the right of Venezuelans to decide their own fate without any foreign interference. ALBA Social Movements, Ottawa Chapter declares its support for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, its democratically elected President, Nicolás Maduro, its unwavering, peaceful vocation and its right to choose, within the principle of self-determination, its national authorities, since sovereignty resides in the Venezuelan people which legitimizes the constituted powers of the Venezuelan State. If the opposition wishes for a solution to the grave crisis, this has to pass through a National Dialogue between Venezuelans with no outside interference nor by way of imposing false legalities and much less using violence to destroy a legal elected government. NO to Intervention, Yes to Sovereignty! NO to a coup; YES to a patriotic dialogue! NO to legal trickery, YES to due process! The laws and constitution of Venezuela should be respected.

ALBA Social Movements
Ottawa expresses its deep concern
for
the continuing aggressive actions of the United States, trying to
attack the constitutional order and destabilize the Bolivarian
Republic of Venezuela. The U.S. is making every attempt to attack
the legitimacy of President Nicolás Maduro Moros, who was
elected
as a result of free and democratic elections with national and
international observers. On May 20, 2018, President Maduro was
elected
to second term with 68 per cent of the
votes.
