U.S. People Reject Intromission Against Venezuela, La Riva Says
The activist of the International Committee of Solidarity with Venezuela, Gloria La Riva, informed that the people of the United States will lead this February 23 several mobilizations in rejection of the interventionist pretensions of Washington.
In an interview on Venezolana de Televisión’s Al Aire program, the U.S. political leader announced that on March 16 a rally will be held in front of the White House to condemn the policies of President Donald Trump.
Many times the response to war threats depends on the mobilization of the American people,’ said La Riva.
The activist, present in Caracas, will join the cultural days in defense of peace and national sovereignty scheduled for this weekend in the border area with Colombia, by the state of Táchira.
She also said she was in the South American country to dismantle the negative and false images disseminated by media such as The New York Time and The Washington Post.
She also described it as ‘very dangerous and unprecedented that the U.S. authorities are behind the new attempt to overthrow a government in the region.
La Riva, who was the presidential candidate for the Socialism, Liberation and Peace Party in the U.S. in 2008, stressed that fascism rules the White House.
In that sense, she emphasized that Americans reject this doctrine on the streets. For every 40 people who go out to defend fascism on the streets of the United States, thousands go out to reject it.
However, the popular leader reiterated that the fascists are in the administration led by Trump.
On the other hand, as an admirer of the path taken by the Bolivarian Revolution towards socialism, La Riva criticized the position expressed last Monday by the head of state of Washington against this model.
Donald Trump is a tycoon who exploits undocumented women in his companies in Florida and now he has fired them after revealing that scourge recently,’ he said.
However, she calls for an end to a system that guarantees equity in the population, denounced La Riva, while explaining how currently half of the U.S. population is considered in poverty.
In this regard, the U.S. leader said that human rights such as health, housing, education and dignified life are not guaranteed in the United States.
La Riva gave as an example the city of San Francisco, in the state of California, where the price of an apartment with only one room to rent is four thousand dollars and the minimum wage in that locality barely reaches 1,500.
Finally, she condemned the attempts to enter ‘humanitarian aid’ in Venezuela, to demand democracy, freedom, while assuring that ‘Washington’s freedom is to exploit, its democracy is that of the dollar, and capitalism sold as the perfect democracy, is today more dangerous for the world than ever’.
