On January 3, 2026, at around 02:00 a.m. local time, the world is once again witness how a country arbitrarily attempts to assert its hegemonic interests with brutal force and without regard for human lifes, as the US launches a military invasion of the sovereign nation of Venezuela.
This act of war is the culmination of more than 1,000 years of unilateral punitive measures by the USA and the EU against Venezuela that violate international law. Furthermore, a naval blockade, also imposed in violation of international law, has been in place for over five months, escalating the situation with the murder of more than 100 crew members and the sinking of their fishing boats, as well as the additional illegal closure of Venezuela's airspace. a series of
violations of international law and a multitude of international laws as well as the Charter of the United Nations that is unprecedented in the world.
The members of the Society for Peace and International Solidarity (GeFiS e.V.) strongly condemn the United States' attacks against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which violate international law. This imperialist aggression constitutes a criminal act against a peaceful people and should be classified as an act of terrorism. We demand the release of the president and his wife, as well as the immediate cessation of all acts of war against Venezuela!
The members of GeFiS hereby call on all national and international organizations, public figures, etc. to join us in solidarity with the Venezuelan people and their government. We stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people in their struggle for peace and a socially just life in Venezuela.
