In a letter sent to Prensa Latina, Jayathisa celebrated the Venezuelans’ courage in putting down the post-election attempted coup by the local right wing, pushed by the government of the United States and its allies in the region.

He assured that Venezuela’s enormous natural resources are the reason why that nation is directly besieged by US imperialism.

Jayathisa emphasized that, as the leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez, did, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is fighting a huge battle to protect the nation from foreign coup interests.

The Sri Lankan activist emphasized that the Venezuelan people have utmost confidence in Nicolás Maduro and that is why they reelected him as their president in the 2024 presidential elections.
