<p>The first Vice President of the United Socialist Party
of Venezuela (PSUV) and elected Constituent Assembly
member Diosdado Cabello issued a call for unity of
Venezuelan revolutionary forces against threats stemming
from United States imperialism.</p>
<blockquote>

Vice President Meets Venezuelan Opposition and
Promises More Sanctions</a></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>“Today imperialism is threatening us again. We are
here, we do not attack anyone, but we are going to
morally defend ourselves,” Cabello said during a
broadcast on the Con el Mazo Dando program on the
Venezuelan Television channel. “We are obligated to be
united. There is no way to overcome such a powerful
enemy if we do not have internal unity.”</p>
<p>On the tails of Trump announcing a possible “military
option” for Venezuela, something that was unanimously
rejected in Latin America, U.S. Vice President Mike
Pence met with opposition leaders in Florida on
Wednesday, announcing that the U.S. would be imposing
more sanctions against the Bolivarian government which
he called a "dictatorship."</p>
<p>Cabello said that the attacks stem from the fact that
Venezuela has chosen not to follow the capitalist model,
but has instead taken the path of sovereignty and
working toward socialism, as laid out by the late former
President Hugo Chavez.</p>
<p>The United States is “in essence against a great
project opposing the capitalist model. This project was
embodied by Hugo Chavez. It was he who opened the doors
for us.”</p>
<p>The Socialist Party leader recalled the coup backed by
the U.S. embassy in Caracas against the Bolivarian
government in 2002 that attempted to remove President
Chavez.</p>
<p>“Let's not confuse ourselves. The enemy is U.S.
imperialism. We are all needed here,” Cabello said.</p>
<p>Cabello said that the participation of the Venezuelan
people in the Constituent Assembly elections on July30th
was the “biggest defeat for the U.S. government.”</p>
<p>“What happened on July 30th was a lesson for the
world,” he said.</p>
