In an ordinary session held at the headquarters of the National University of Sciences, the National Council of Universities (CNU) unanimously approved an Agreement in Defense of National Sovereignty, Peace and the Heritage of the Republic, by firmly reaffirming the role of the academy as a bastion of the independence and dignity of the Venezuelan people.
The collegiate body expressed its categorical and absolute rejection of the recent statements by the President of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, which were described as a direct threat to the territorial integrity and strategic resources of the country.
The agreement emphasizes that the Venezuelan academic community, in its mission to seek the truth and strengthen the transcendental values of man, cannot remain indifferent to forceful discourses that seek to violate the self-determination of the Venezuelan people.
Emphatically, the CNU stressed that the threat of naval military intervention and the attempts to appropriate Venezuelan oil and land constitute a serious national security problem.
In this sense, the agreement urges universities to fulfill their historical duty to guide the country through doctrinal clarification of these conflicts, by strengthening critical consciousness and national unity in the face of any attempt at foreign domination.
With this decision, the university sector reaffirms its historical and inalienable commitment to the training of conscious citizens and the defense of national independence, as a fundamental basis for the scientific, social and cultural development of future generations.
