Due to the interventionist maneuvers that imperialism and
its regional acolytes are currently trying to implement at
the Organization of American States (OAS) to delegitimize
the Bolivarian process, the Union of Writers and Artists of
Cuba (UNEAC) and the Association Hermanos Saiz (AHS), on
behalf of the intellectual and artistic vanguard, express
our solidarity with the Venezuelan people. <a name="more"></a></b></i><br>
<br>
The international right is intent on pushing open the floodgates
for foreign intervention and restore by force, against the will
of the Venezuelan people, a submissive, violent, oppressive
sellout regime. <br>
<br>
Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the OAS, and his accomplices,
aspire to break the constitutional order and overthrow the
Bolivarian Government, which would throw Venezuelan society into
chaos in order to roll back the social gains that it has
achieved. <br>
<br>
The revolutionary process of the Venezuelan people in securing
their essential rights of independence, freedom, sovereignty,
territorial integrity and self determination are an affront to
their enemies. They could care less that Venezuela now has
universal access to education and knowledge or they have access
to a wide range of human developmental programs offered through
the Mission Culture projects found in the neighborhoods and
communities. <br>
<br>
We are in agreement with the statements of the Network in
Defense of Humanity, when they proclaimed, “we must respect the
dignity of the people and we urge them to keep their heads held
high. Now is not the time to allow the muddying of the water of
progress, that is being besieged by an avalanche of media
slander and smear campaigns, to prevail. It is however the time
for unity, of struggle and for the final victory over the
sinister designs of imperialism.” <br>
<br>
At this crucial moment, Cuban writers and artists evoke the
words of José Martí at a gathering of Caracas intellectuals on
March 21, 1881; “thus, armed with love, I come to offer the
children of Bolivar a post in the militia of peace.” <br>
