“Receiving these signatures is the greatest demonstration of the love and respect a country can receive when under attack,” stated Jorge Rodríguez, vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), after 3,039,567 signatures from the Cuban people were collected in just five days; calling for the executive order issued by U.S. President Barack Obama against the Venezuelan people and government, to be revoked.
Also head of the ´Venezuela isn’t a threat, we are hope´ campaign, Rodríguez stated, during an act of solidarity which took place yesterday at the headquarters of the Cuban institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP) that, perhaps the country is an unusual and extraordinary threat as President Obama said, given that it is setting a good example; combating illiteracy; building homes for those most in need; and has plans to eradicate poverty in Venezuela by 2019.
Before the signatures were presented, decorated Hero of the Republic of Cuba, Fernando González Llort, vice president of ICAP, stated that from April 3-8, through the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, the Federation of Cuban Women, the National Association of Small Farmers, the Federation of Cuban Workers (CTC), the Young Communist League and ICAP, Cuban men and women expressed their support and solidarity with the homeland of Bolívar, adding their names to the lists available to sign across the entire country; a process which will continue through April 11.
The lists with names of Cuban men and women, presented today to President Nicolás Maduro will be added to the millions which have also been collected in Venezuela in rejection of U.S. intervention in the country’s internal affairs.
The ceremony was attended by Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, member of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee and first vice president of the Councils of State and Ministers; José Ramón Balaguer Cabrera, member of the Party Central Committee Secretariat; Alí Rodríguez Araque, ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to Cuba; Adán Chávez Frías, governor of the State of Barinas and president of the Hugo Chávez House of Higher Education. Leaders of the Party and Cuban government also participated, in addition to representatives of various political and mass organizations and young Venezuelans studying in Cuba.
