Hands Off Venezuela Expresses its Solidarity with the Revolution. Down with the Coup Plotters!

Today (12 September 2008), the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign whole-heartedly condemned the discovered attempted coup plot in Venezuela. Read this statement of John McDonnell MP and Jeremy Dear, Joint Presidents of the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign.

Today (12 September 2008), the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign whole-heartedly condemned the discovered attempted coup plot in Venezuela.

"We utterly condemn the coup-plotters and their foreign accomplices who have attempted repeatedly since 2002 to overthrow President Chavez and crush the Venezuelan Revolution.

"The Hands Off Venezuela Campaign was originally set up following the first coup attempt to give support to the Revolution and to defend it against the attacks of imperialism. Today, we continue to expose the lies and misinformation poured out by the media aimed to discredit the Revolution and, more sinisterly, to prepare the ground for future coup attempts.

"The most recent coup attempt has been foiled. But it will not be the last while the oligarchy remains. We are completely in favour of the socialist path of the Revolution, which is the only salvation for the masses in Venezuela and the masses of the world.

We pledge ourselves once again to defend the Revolution and assist in the struggle for world socialism."

In solidarity,

John McDonnell MP
Jeremy Dear, General Secretary of the National Union of Journalists
(Joint Presidents of the Hands Off Venezuela Campaign, London)
