Protest in Cyprus Expresses Solidarity with Venezuela

The Pan-Cypriot Peace Council organized a protest outside the US Embassy in Nicosia, expressing solidarity with the people of Venezuela. The protest was attended by representatives of AKEL, the Communist Initiative of Cyprus, and PEO. Demonstrators condemned the potential US military intervention in Venezuela and the “kidnapping” of President Nicolás Maduro, characterizing it as an act of international piracy. Furthermore, it was mentioned that the US has a history of intervening in Cypriot affairs, supporting the 1974 coup. Academic Giorgos Charalambous emphasized that Maduro's kidnapping is a challenge to international law and endangers the security of small states like Cyprus.
