This Sunday, on the 205th anniversary of the Letter of Jamaica, was made the official launching of the Institute for Peace and Solidarity among Peoples, a new space for training, research, dissemination, debate, solidarity and strengthening of international relations.
The installation was broadcast through its official channel, in Spanish and English versions, on the YouTube digital platform:
“Our institute is being formally born today, but the truth is that it already existed, the peoples have already raised their voices in favor of Venezuela, and we at the same time have raised our voice for the great causes of humanity”, said the president of the institute, Carlos Ron, in his inaugural speech.
He explained that in the face of this crisis of the capitalist model, a new model has to emerge, one that is based on solidarity and world peace.
“Because peace means a guaranteed right, a sustained planet, far from imperialism, racism; the greatest of all Bolivarians, our commander Hugo Chavez, has expressed it in the clearest way possible”, he recalled.
Likewise, he assured that the future of the multipolar world resides “in the unity and in the determination to defend ourselves from the new colonialism”.
“Friends, may you know that you have a people that knows about your struggles, that acknowledges them and share them”, he expressed.
The launch of the institute was dedicated -by its president- to the American activist Kevin Seeze, one of the members of the Collective for the Protection of the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Washington, who died this Sunday.
“You have thought about my country and you got interested in it, this act inspires me the most vivid acknowledgement: to Kevin, present with us, we dedicate this launch”.
For his part, the Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs, Jorge Arreaza, reiterated that this initiative is created to coordinate all the solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution but also from Venezuela and Our Americas with all the revolutions and just causes in the world; “We want to articulate what we have already done”, he said.
“This institute is yours, it belongs to the peoples of the world, and we want you to take advantage of it, to use it as your own (…) From Venezuela we are in solidarity with all these struggles, with Julian Assange and his more than unjust prison, with the Palestinian, Saharawi, people, with all those who are being oppressed, subjected to unjust wars and imperialism”.
The Venezuelan Chancellor pointed out that President Nicolás Maduro is the architect of this project which bears the name of the Liberator Simón Bolívar:
“It is a challenge that bears the name of Simon Bolivar, he did not only thought of his small country, he also thought of Colombia, the big one, in the multipolar world, and it is a whole commitment”, he concluded.
