HAVANA, Cuba. – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Caracas against the Supreme Court of Justice and the Ministry of People’s Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace.

It is unjustifiable that some governments and political figures, instead of expressing a resolute and direct opposition to these terrorist and coup acts, present them as a supposed police rebellion and manipulate them to incite the fracture of the civic-military union. They also attack the worthy decision of President Nicolas Maduro to prevent chaos and call to the legitimate defense of the constitutional order.

It is no surprise that the Organization of American States (OAS) and its Secretary General will become, with their silence, complicit in what happened or what might happen.

Cuba resolutely rejects the use of terrorism and external interference in Venezuela, while reiterating its strongest solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution and its leaders. Nothing and no one will prevent the brave people of Bolívar and Chavez from fighting with determination in defense of their ideas and conquests, and restore the peace others have broken.
