Several actions have been reported following the call from Anti-imperialist League (AIL), which marked February 3rd as the International Day of Action, marking one month since the imperialist aggression against Venezuela.
In Brazil, various demonstrations took place, including one in Rio de Janeiro. The demonstration brought together dozens of democratic organizations, including the AIL. Slogans such as “Latin America is our land, Yankees out of Venezuela! Long live the Venezuelan militias!” could be heard. The demonstration began with a representation of the Bolivarian Militias expelling “Uncle Sam” from Venezuela. Afterwards, the march continued to the Yankee consulate, where State repression tried to prevent them from arriving but failed. Once there, the flags of the US and Israel were burned.
In Recife, a call for a demonstration was made to all “activists, democrats, and revolutionaries” against the aggression in Venezuela, but also for the liberation of the student Mateus Galdino, a political prisoner of the anti-imperialist struggle, and for justice for those who were shot by the Military Police in the same city, as previously reported.
In northern Germany, leaflets with the call from the AIL were spread. In Hamburg, leaflets were distributed in the St. Pauli neighborhood, where passersby reacted positively to the leaflets and applauded the initiative of the comrades. Similarly, in Bremen, leaflets were given to passersby and also in kiosks, where the newspaper Rote Post can be found.
In Norway, Kampkomiteen announced that there would be four demonstrations for February 3 (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Kristiansand). Trondheim Red Youth carried out a mobilization. Kampkomiteen among others, participated.
A rally was organized in Kristiansand by the Latin American groups and Kampkomiteen. Socialist Youth, the Communist Party of Norway, Peace and Justice, Red, NF Solidarity Youth, Anti-racist Agder and Feminists in Agder joined the event.
