Call for Peace Conference in Venezuela

People's Congress spokesman Carlos Ramirez called today in this capital city of Venezuela to participate in a conference about the processes of pacification in Latin America, threatened by the right wing.

'We have proposed, first of all, to discuss the importance of the protagonist participation of the organized people in all the movements and procedures of the region, to guarantee that it is a peace zone,' he assured in the program La pauta de hoy, transmitted by Venezolana de Televisión.

As he announced, 'the People's Congress, chapter Venezuela, calls for dealing with everything related to opportunities for contribution and collaboration in peace efforts, trade union organizations, guilds, communal structures and all social groups.'

'On February 4, these discussions began in Venezuela and Colombia, in connection with the peace talks in the Venezuelan nation and following the similar process proposed here by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with opposition organizations,' he commented.

For Ramírez, it is important to address the issue by the political and social situation of Latin America, but especially in the current context of Colombia and Venezuela.

'To destabilize the region is among the main objectives of the Colombian right wing- he said- and, as part of its purposes, the Bolivarian Revolution is politically, economically and militarily strategical.'

As a social and political movement that gathers diverse sectors of popular life, the Peoples' Congress was born in 2010 in Colombia, 'and in Venezuela popular movements that believe in the construction of popular power have also joined the congress,' he said.
