The mobilization on Labor Day taking place in several states of the South American nation represents recognition of the labor force and a new example of the massive rejection of the U.S. government’s immigration policy.
In the states of Bolívar, Apure, Mérida, and Sucre, as well as in the capital and other territories of the country, people are raising their voices against the forced separation of Venezuelan baby Maikelys Espinoza from her parents.
With flags of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, images of Commander Hugo Rafael Chávez Fría, and banners with the names of Venezuelan migrants deported by the U.S. government to El Salvador, the people of the South American nation, along with government authorities and candidates for the May 25 elections, representing the Simón Bolívar Great Patriotic Pole (GPPSB), took to the streets of several states to celebrate a Grand March for International Workers’ Day.
Nationwide, the demonstrations reject the arbitrary and unilateral decisions of the Donald Trump Administration on immigration matters, including the kidnapping of more than 250 Venezuelans in the maximum-security prison of the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) in El Salvador, at the behest of Donald Trump.
In the states of Bolívar, Apure, Mérida, and Sucre, as well as in the capital and other territories of the country, the people are raising their voices against the forced separation of Venezuelan baby Maikelys Espinoza from her parents, who were deported from the United States.
In this regard, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros stated that this Thursday’s meeting is being held “for the freedom of this beautiful girl. We are going to rescue her, and she will grow up in her homeland, with her school, her toys, her friends. You will see, as a people and as a country, we will achieve it,” he emphasized.
In Bolívar state, Yulisbeth García, the GPPSB candidate for governor of the state, acknowledged the labor force, as well as President Nicolás Maduro, “who, beyond the blockade and the attacks of the empire, has played tricks on the working class.”
“Today I demand justice for Maikelys. As a woman, as a mother, on behalf of the working class of Guayana, we demand justice and stand in solidarity with her parents. The cowardly empire is returning Maikelys to her parents,” García stated.
In support of the efforts of the national executive branch, the united working class of the Tomás Lander municipality in Miranda state is also hosting the event with a mobilization that will join the Great March in Caracas.
