Ledesma stated, “Defenders of peace and international law have the duty to stage protests in public squares around the world, decry the illegal military aggression by the United States against civilian and military targets in Venezuelan cities.
Also, to denounce the criminal kidnapping of the legitimate and constitutional president of Venezuela and his wife, the diplomat stressed.
The ambassador demanded full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Bolivarian Republic, as well as its inalienable right to self-determination, without interference or appropriation of its natural resources.
Ledesma also remembered that “we are the heirs of Bolivar, Marti, Fidel Castro, and Chavez, and, as Che Guevara said: Nothing to imperialism, not even a little bit,” before affirming “the independence of Our America has cost much blood, and we will continue to defend it.”
The vigil, held in Kuala Lumpur, also reaffirmed solidarity with Cuba and the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean under imperialist threat, and condemned the illegal and unacceptable actions by the United States government, outside whose Embassy members of the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) marched demanding respect for the right to peace.
