   “We strongly condemn the military intervention by the United States in Venezuela,” she stated in a message on her social media account, emphasizing that the self-determination of peoples must prevail in Latin America and throughout the world.

  Rangel also urged international organizations, such as the United Nations (UN), not to remain silent. “Civilians are at risk, as well as the freedom and peace of an entire continent,” she asserted.

   This morning, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum shared the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in which her administration strongly condemned and rejected the military actions carried out by U.S. armed forces against targets in Venezuelan territory.

  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the action as “a clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations.”

  The Ministry emphasized that Latin America and the Caribbean is a zone of peace, built on the foundation of mutual respect, the peaceful settlement of disputes, and the prohibition of the use and threat of force, and that any military action seriously jeopardizes regional stability.

  Mexico reiterated that dialogue and negotiation are the only legitimate and effective ways to resolve differences and reaffirmed its willingness to support any effort to facilitate dialogue, mediate, or provide accompaniment that contributes to preserving regional peace and preventing confrontation.

A Minrex statement reads that the country supports the address by Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez and endorses the demand that the US government provide proof of life for the constitutional president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores.

The Foreign Ministry statement reiterates its support for the determination of the Bolivarian and Chavista government and its people to reject the aggression and defend their independence and sovereignty.

The cowardly US aggression is a criminal act, violating International Law and the Charter of the United Nations.

A dangerous escalation of the war campaign waged for years by the United States against that sister nation, intensified by the aggressive naval deployment in the Caribbean Sea, under mendacious pretexts and unfounded accusations without any evidence, since September 2025, underlines the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex).

Cuba emphatically demands the immediate release by U.S. authorities of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and Vice President Cilia Flores, the statement insists.

The Minrex document emphasizes that the U.S. government, President Donald Trump, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, along with aggressive and hostile elements in Latin America and the Caribbean, are responsible for the deaths and the human and material damage already caused, and that which will result from the aggression.

The demonstration against the attack carried out early this morning against the Bolivarian nation was held outside the US Embassy.

Earlier, the National Coordinating Committee of Social, Labor, Popular, and Political Organizations for Change in Colombia (CNPC) called for a sit-in in solidarity with Venezuela.

“It is urgent that we come together and mobilize in defense of our Latin American sovereignty and the Bolivarian Revolution, The message reads.

We invite all revolutionary and anti-imperialist forces to join us or to spread this call,” the movement urged in its announcement.

Communist activists also circulated a call to gather near the U.S. embassy in protest.

Other organizations, such as the Antifascist International-Colombia Chapter, “urged the peoples of the region to unite, to raise a single voice, and to take up the historic battle for definitive independence, sovereignty, and peace, through political mobilization, international denunciation, and active solidarity among sister nations.”

“Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world are now witnessing, at the highest price, the validity of previous denunciations by various governments and peoples regarding the voracity of the North, today more turbulent and brutal than in Martí’s time,” a statement from the organization reads.

“The United States not only directly attacked areas of Caracas, Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, but, asserting its status as an international outlaw, kidnapped the legitimate president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores, who have now joined the endless list of ‘disappeared’ under imperial auspices,” UPEC stated.

“The plurinational veil of the Zone of Peace that Latin America and the Caribbean attempt to weave above diversity and dissension has been torn away, but perhaps the best argument for united condemnation today is the realization that the blow came from outside, from the ‘Other America,’ as Marti would say, and not from Ours,” the text points out.

“Donald Trump, who shamelessly changed the name of his Department of Defense to the Department of War, is now attempting, with the stroke of a pen, to change the name of our region,” states the UPEC.

“This act shows that, indeed, the US president would deserve the Nobel Prize for… war.

VIn any case, the Prize went to one of his admirers: Maria Corina Machado, who at this moment must be celebrating, with that strange vocation of the new ‘pacifists,’ the treacherous and nocturnal wound inflicted on several compatriots.”

“Probably, a little sisterly blood is tainted by the latest Oslo ruling,” the statement added.

The UPEC, which strongly condemned the aggression, reiterated that Cuba and its journalists will stand with Nicolas Maduro and the Bolivarian people.

“The oil greed of an empire cannot prevail over the yearning for peace of a people and a region! Latin America and the Caribbean do not want to be anyone’s backyard, but their own garden!” the statement concluded.
