Cuernavaca, Morelos. This Saturday the Mexican Anti-Imperialist Front for Venezuela and the freedom of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, and for the self-determination of peoples was formed, where the ambassador of Venezuela in Mexico, Stella Marina Lugo Betancourt de Montilla, was present.
The person in charge of asking for the vote for the approval of this Anti-Imperialist Front in Morelos was the social activist and husband of the governor Margarita González, Carmelo Enríquez, to the more than 500 members of different social, political, civil, teachers’ and peasant organizations who met this Saturday in the auditorium of the Mexican Union of Electricians (SME), located in the center of Cuernavaca.
Rosa María Hernández Trejo, the organizer of this Front, explained that state committees are being created in each state of the country, as happened today in this state, and that the national constitution of said Mexican Imperialist Front for Venezuela will be on February 14th in Mexico City.
Meanwhile, the members of this Front called for a mobilization on February 3rd, a global protest to reject the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, on orders from US President Donald Trump, one month after the United States invaded Venezuela and deprived both Nicolás and Cilia of their freedom.
On February 7th, a national march for Venezuela will be held to demand the release of Maduro and Flores, and marches or rallies will take place in the capitals of each state. “A united front for Venezuela is also a united front for Mexico and for all of Latin America,” emphasized social activist Hernández Trejo.
