Caracas, July 10, 2024.- “I vote with both hands for this powerful Declaration of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).” 

The statement corresponds to the Head of State and Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, who reaffirmed his support for the Government of Bolivia and its President Luis Arce during his participation in the 10th Extraordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP).

“To my brothers and sisters of the ALBA-TCP, the full support of the Venezuelan people. Bolivia has set an example of responsiveness”, he expressed. 

The president, in his speech via video conference, emphasized the attempted coup in Bolivia, confirming the ongoing conspiracy against autonomous processes in the region.

In this scenario, he highlighted that the path to the right to peace, stability, and development is strengthened. He also recalled that the Venezuelan right-wing came out to praise the coup in Bolivia. 

He also reiterated that “from Venezuela, we are proud of the people of Bolivia, of their courage, their power, and their strength”.

In this context, the ALBA-TCP announced on Wednesday morning an extraordinary virtual meeting of Heads of State and Government, stating through its social media account X that the dignitaries are meeting to denounce the attempted coup in Bolivia – which occurred on June 26 – and reaffirm support for President Luis Arce’s government.
