Militants and followers of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV)âworkers, farmers, women and young peopleâoffered their support to their government and its development strategy, in popular events convened under the slogan: “United we are more.”

Images and videos of these mobilizations in Sucre, Trujillo, Monagas, Nueva Esparta, Yaracuy, among other states, and messages from the Venezuelan president praising the commitment of the people and their unity, circulated through social networks.
The demonstrations also supported the call of the Bolivarian forces to continue on the path of peace, to which the election made by the National Assembly (AN) of the National Electoral Council (CNE) made a substantial contribution.

In La Guaira, the first vice president of the PSUV, Diosdado Cabello, made the announcement that: “Today we cling to peace, to the hope of building a dignified future for this homeland, to recover the state of human welfare that Hugo ChĂĄvez left for us.”
The political leader also pointed out that, in spite of the transparency in the selection of the CNE and the social-political support that was sparked by this process, representatives of the opposition were still critical.

Venezuela is facing more than 900 unilateral restrictive measures, which deprive the nation and its people of millions of dollars in revenue. They were imposed as of 2019 by the US and the EU to politically destabilize the country and economically implode Venezuela.
According to calculations of US and European imperialism, a change of government in Venezuela would allow the right wing to regain power and hegemonic nations to regain access to oil, gold, and other forms of wealth from the people.
The UN has recognized that the sanctions seriously violate the human rights of Venezuelans.
