They carried banners with slogans such as “Trump terror” or “Fuera yanquis de América Latina” (Yankees, get out of Latin America), as a reporter from the Keystone-SDA news agency reported. “Cheers to international solidarity,” chanted the participants.
The aim of the attack was for the US to gain control over Venezuela’s oil and strengthen its geopolitical power in the region, according to the call to action. The attack is directed against all countries in the region that oppose imperialism.

The spontaneous rally was organised under the slogan “Hands off Venezuela”. It was called by more than a dozen organisations, including the Bern Labour Party, the Communist Youth of Bern, the Swiss Cuba Association and several pro-Palestinian organisations.
In Bern, spontaneous demonstrations in response to a specific event are possible within 48 hours. No authorisation is required. There is only an obligation to register. A few dozen people also demonstrated in Geneva against the US attack on Venezuela on Saturday.
