They were received by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, symbolizing unity against external aggression. The activists seek to break the media and political siege imposed by Washington against Venezuela.

Foreign Minister Yván Gil welcomed the movement through his official channels, emphasizing that international support is essential at this crucial moment for the country.

Gil valued the courage of the activists who defy the interventionist policy of their own government to bring flags of brotherhood and respect for sovereignty.

For the Bolivarian Government, this visit consolidates the network of global solidarity that accompanies the defense of the ideals and self-determination of the Venezuelan people.

Code Pink is historically characterized by its frontal opposition to wars, economic blockades, and unilateral sanctions. In this visit, the organization reaffirmed that the people of Venezuela deserve to live in peace and without the asphyxiating coercive measures that seek to subdue their will.

Through peaceful protest actions and diplomacy of the peoples, the delegation seeks to make visible the human consequences of the imperialist siege in the daily lives of Venezuelans.

The arrival of Medea Benjamin and her team occurs in a context of high tension, where solidarity organizations denounce the illegal nature of the collective punishment against Venezuela and the region.

The feminist movement emphasized that its presence is an act of ethical resistance to tell the world that “Venezuela is not alone.” The activists plan to fulfill an agenda of meetings with social movements to learn firsthand about the reality of popular resistance to the blockade.

This internationalist mission also adds to the global clamor for an end to foreign interference in the internal affairs of sovereign countries. Code Pink insists that peace and social justice are possible only if international law is respected and colonial claims to regime change are abandoned.
