President Daniel Ortega: ALBA-TCP is a weapon for peace

Caracas, April 24, 2024.- During his attendance this Wednesday at the 23rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held in the Venezuelan capital, the President of the Republic of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, urged to strengthen the struggle for peace, while he condemned imperialist actions intended to perpetuate wars in the world.

“ALBA-TCP is a weapon for peace, for the unity of the Latin American and Caribbean peoples who are fighting a battle where the imperialists of the Earth are trying to undermine, and infiltrate in order to break Latin American unity,” the Sandinista commander said.

Ortega mentioned the approval of billions of dollars by the United States to continue the war, the genocide against the Palestinian people, as well as funds for the Ukrainian regime, that is, “funds for death, funds for war”.

In his speech, he recalled that the only power that has launched atomic bombs is the American empire.

The President of Nicaragua joined other ALBA-TCP heads of state in condemning and calling for an end to the imperialist invasion, threats and blockades; however, “they continue to intensify their aggressions. The empire totally disrespects world’s opinion, the American people’s opinion and even the opinion of a large part of the people of Israel, who are against these crimes, and when the United Nations votes for Palestine to occupy its seat as a State”, the United States vetoes the proposal, refusing to recognize the State of Palestine.

“To the imperialists we say: nobody surrenders here!”, the revolutionary commander stated.
