PRESS RELEASE
On Thursday April 29th,
2017 - VENEZUELANS IN VANCOUVER are supporting a worldwide protest of
Venezuelans all over the world and saying: ¡NO MAS! NO MORE!
Three weeks ago,
Venezuela`s Supreme Court illegally ruled that it was taking over the
opposition-led Congress' legislative powers, undermining the country's
separation of powers. As this caused international criticism, President Maduro
requested that the Supreme Court reversed its decision, which it (illegally) did.
This moved cause uproar
in the population that started protesting and since then have not left the
streets. The opposition's main demands are for immediate elections, the release
of political prisoners, re-establish judicial independence
and autonomy for the opposition-led congress.
President Nicolas Maduro
response has been brutal, he put troops on the streets which have been violently
repressing protesters, supplied guns to sympathetic civil militias and called
for a simultaneous rally of his supporters against what he said was a United
States-backed coup. The government announced on April 7th a 15-year
ban from public office of main opposition leader Henrique Capriles.
From April 4th
to April 22nd, the Foro Penal Venezolano, a non-profit organization promoter
of Human Rights, reported that during the protests, 22 people have died, 1.365 people
were arrested and 777 people remained detained.
However, the political
crisis is not the only crisis in Venezuela, there are multiple interconnected
crises: children are dying of malnutrition, people can’t access food or
medication, hospitals do not have the necessary resources to care for patients,
people are dying and there is no reason for it, except for a government that
does not recognize the crisis and is not accepting help. According to David
Grantham David, from TownHall: “This (Venezuelan) administration would rather
starve its people than relinquish power. Maduro would rather dismantle
government and assassinate opponents than keep the country viable. History
tells us that such despotism and subsequent international inaction can lead to Assad-like
levels of oppression”
Venezuelans are tired,
hungry and sick, and are saying ¡NO MAS! (No More). On Saturday April 29th,
Venezuelans from all over the world will be gathering to support their fellow
countrymen on their quest for no
more:
Human right abuses, fear, violence,
hunger, injustice, prisoners… they just want peace…
Date and time: Saturday April 27th, 2017 from 11 am to 1 pm
Starting location: Vancouver Art Gallery, Robson Street, Vancouver

PRESS RELEASE
CONCERNED VENEZUELANS PROTEST OVER PARLIAMENT
SHUT DOWN
Friday March 31st 2017, the day
after the Venezuelan Parliament was shut by the Supreme Court. A sad day for Venezuelan democracy! The government is now completely controlled by
President Nicolás Maduro, as the parliament was the last independent branch of
the government. Now, there is no separation of powers: Venezuela is now an official
dictatorship, confirmed.
The Parliament, elected by overwhelming
majority in December 2015, has over 75% of opposition members who have been fiercely
criticising Nicolas Maduro’s grip of power. Maduro has continually disregarded
the Parliament’s power. As reported by the Economist: “Nicolás Maduro, had the
Supreme Court rubber-stamp his budget rather than submitting it to the national
assembly, in violation of the constitution. The court stripped the legislature
of its power to name members of the electoral council.” Maduro also has managed
to postpone all scheduled elections for posts ranging from state governors to
labor union heads.
Maduro’s power grab reached its peak when the Supreme
Court, following its loyalty to the president, issued a ruling that in effect
seized power from the country's elected legislature. Now president Maduro holds
all the power to enact laws, assign contracts, incur foreign debt and persecute
fellow Venezuelans.
International mandataries have voiced their
concerns on the situation: Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warned on
Twitter: “If the separation of powers breaks down, democracy breaks down".
Germany attacked Venezuela's socialist President Nicolas Maduro, saying: “It is
intolerable how President Maduro is making the population of his country hostages
to his own power ambitions”. The
Secretary General of the OAS denounced “the self-inflicted coup d’état
perpetrated by the Venezuelan regime against the National Assembly, the last
branch of government to be legitimized by the will of the people of Venezuela”.
And The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Foreign Affairs issued the
following statement: “Canada is deeply concerned by the Venezuelan supreme
court’s March 29 decision to suspend the legislative powers of the democratically
elected national assembly, we call on the Government of Venezuela to allow the
national assembly to carry out its constitutionally mandated duties and to
respect the parliamentary immunity of its members".
Venezuelans in Vancouver will voice their
concern and support democratic principles in Venezuela.
We
invite you to cover our demonstration and support democracy in Venezuela.
