“Dominican Republic with Venezuela, in struggle against fascism”,”’Edmundo Gonzalez, persona non grata in the DR”, “United States out of Venezuela”, could be read on the posters that accompanied those present in the mobilization of solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution.

“We Dominicans swear by Maduro’, chanted dozens of people gathered in what they called the ‘Parade of Dignity’ to demand that the government of the Modern Revolutionary Party headed by Luis Abinader respect the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people”.

“The people of Venezuela gave shelter to Dominican patriots during the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo (1930-1961), so the government of this country should be grateful for this gesture”, told the press Manuel Salazar, secretary general of the Communist Labor Party.

At this hour, dozens of people continue to join the demonstration against the visit of the former Venezuelan extreme right wing presidential candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, who arrived last night in the Dominican Republic and this Thursday will be received by President Abinader.
