Brutal Yankee Aggression Against Patria Grande Expands, says Popular Socialist Party of Mexico

This statement was originally published by the Partido Popular Socialista de México on January 8, 2026.

After the United States used its enormous military power to brutally attack the peaceful Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, bombing it and kidnapping its constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro Moros, to move it to Yankee territory in open violation of international law, what followed? Three parallel processes: first, the aggressor country has deployed a campaign of disinformation to try to break the unity of the Bolivarian government, spreading lies about the loyalty of the President in charge, Delcy Rodriguez; second, has expanded its aggressive attitude by publicly pointing out Colombia and Mexico as possible next targets; and third, has shown an open contempt for the UN Charter, making it clear that this power, in its neo-fascist stage, no longer even retains the appearance of a “democratic” country, respectful or guardian of the international order, as it has claimed to be for decades.

In fact, the criminal Donald Trump has said that they have an “understanding with Delcy Rodriguez”, and that now Trump himself has the threads of power over Venezuela and its policies in his hands; a lie that clashes with reality. He also said that Colombia is “ruled by a sick man who likes to produce cocaine and sell it to the United States,” and that “he’s not going to continue doing so for very long”; and that drugs were “entering in torrents” into the United States via Mexico and that “we will have to do something, shortly, about it.”

In synchrony with the White House, its ambassador in Mexico, Ronald Johnson, celebrated the “detention” of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro; clashing with the Mexican government that, emphatically and repeatedly, by the voice of President Claudia Sheinbaum, and through its ambassadors in the Security Council of the UN, and in the OEA, strongly condemned this act of violation of international law.

In the face of these facts, the Popular Socialist Party of Mexico:

  • Denounces to the people of Mexico and the peoples of the world the fact that Donald Trump has become a violator of international law and justice, and denounces the complicit attitude of his ambassador in Mexico.
  • Reiterates its demand to the Yankee government for the immediate release of prisoner of war Nicolás Maduro Moros, who remains the legitimate president of Venezuela and remains illegally abducted by the Yankee government.
  • Calls on the people of Mexico to close ranks, with the greatest firmness and without doubts or bargaining, in their solidarity with the people and government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; with the people and Government of Colombia, and with the Government of Mexico, which supports unrestrictedly the defense of national and Latin American sovereignty.

For national liberation & socialism!
