“The rotten plutocracy of the United States restricts the Afro and Latino vote, but has the [hypocrisy] to question the new Venezuelan National Electoral Council to try to evade the will of our people. They would prefer an electoral system that supports their coups, as in Bolivia,” wrote the head of Venezuelan diplomacy on his Twitter account.

Join us in asking the Nobel Committee to award Cuba’s Henry Reeve International Medical Brigade a Nobel Peace Prize!
