and the hand of the US government in this most recent example is plain for all to see.<\/p>\n<p>Although there was some reported street fighting, it appears that the bulk of the Venezuelan military remained loyal to President Maduro\u2019s Bolivarian government.\u00a0 By 9:00 pm (EDT) this evening, President Maduro announced that the coup attempt had been quelled.<\/p>\n<p>The American Party of Labor, condemns, in the most emphatic terms, any attempt on the part of the US to interfere in the internal affairs of Venezuela.\u00a0 Moreover, we offer our unqualified support to the revolutionary masses of the Venezuelan people, and urge that the government of President Maduro take any and all measures it deems necessary to protect the independence and national sovereignty of Venezuela, and defend the gains of the Bolivarian Revolution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long live Revolutionary Venezuela!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>US Imperialism, Hands off Venezuela!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
