President of TRI Continental Solidarity Campaign for Venezuela
Happy New Year’s hope
to beloved President Nicolás Maduro,
standing firm against
the imperial shadow of the USA.
Destroyers roam the Caribbean,
steel crocodiles in blue water,
threatening the Bolivarian dream,
having already tasted
the blood of fishermen—
men whose only weapon
was the net,
whose only homeland
was the sea.
Who will demand justice
for the drowned voices?
Their blood did not stay
within the Caribbean—
it flowed onward
to the Atlantic,
to the Pacific,
crying a single letter: V.
This is no silence—
this is the march
of the world’s people,
a rising global army
against fascism.
Russia. China. DPRK. Iran.
Cuba. Venezuela. Nicaragua.
Not nations alone—
but a shared resistance,
a people’s horizon.
In the Chavista era,
Nicolás Maduro stands
as a worthy heir,
walking the road
once carved by Simón Bolívar,
the Liberator who never bowed.
November 23 returns to memory—
boats defending life,
fishermen standing unarmed
before gunmetal power.
Over a hundred lives lost,
turning the sea red,
but not breaking the will
of Bolivar’s sons.
Yankee warships may threaten,
but they cannot erase history.
The Liberator stands higher still.
Invaders fade.
The people remain.
Your birthday arrives
like a promise renewed—
long life to courage,
long life to dignity,
long life to Venezuela.
Your bravery
remains rooted
within the nation’s borders,
while Bolivarians rise—
militant for independence,
unyielding in resolve.
The soil is awake.
The memory is alive.
The world’s people stand as one,
facing the ugly mask of empire.
No fear.
We carry the future together.
Victory will come—
as Bolívar’s light
still shines.
Once more, our homage
to President Nicolás Maduro:
flowers offered
from the heart of the Chavista era.
We—the global family—
remember twenty years
of Indigenous resistance,
now worn again
as armor.
Under your leadership,
the struggle binds the world
into a single cry:
Anti-fascism. Sovereignty. Humanity.
