SSP International Secretary Bill Bonnar expresses the Party’s solidarity with Venezuela and condemnation of illegal strikes by the USA, and the kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife.
The Scottish Socialist Party unconditionally condemns the military aggression carried out by the United States against the legitimate and sovereign government of Venezuela. It condemns the kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife, the killing of defenceless civilians and widespread destruction. It stands by the Venezuelan Government and the Venezuelan armed forces in the defence of the sovereignty of their country.
The pretext for the attack is a lie. That this is about stopping the supply of drugs from Venezuela to the United States. This claim has no validity or credibility. The real reason is to overthrow the Venezuelan Government, replace it with a dependent pro-American regime and for the United States to gain control of the country’s huge oil reserves.
The coming days will see the need for a wave of solidarity in support of Venezuela. That solidarity is already developing around the world. In Scotland the Scottish Socialist Party has been steadfast in its support for the Venezuelan Revolution. That support will continue.

Its a horrendous display of imperialist greed and the value such people as trump place on oil and money over human lives.
It is a vile and vicious attack on the Venezuelan people and a disgraceful betrayal of US citizens, who are struggling under the cost of tarrifs imposed by trump, and are having their taxes (and if this continues potentially their lives) squandered on yet another war for oil!
Trump’s doing what Hitler did, but no-one seems to want/ be able to oppose him. If we don’t it’ll only get worse
