Deputy Nicolás Maduro Guerra formalized the launch of the global campaign “Bring them back!” (Bring Them Back!), a global mobilization platform designed to articulate the demand for the immediate freedom of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
This initiative arises in response to the kidnapping of the Bolivarian leaders by the United States on January 3, an act that the parliamentarian described as an assault on the democratic institutions of Venezuela and the sovereign will of its people.
As the central axis of international pressure, the installation of real-time chronometers was ordered in all Venezuelan embassies and consulates around the planet. These electronic devices will publicly and permanently record every day, hour and minute that passes from the moment of illegal capture.
The clocks will begin their exact countdown from 2:00 a.m. on January 3, serving as a constant reminder to the international community about the continuation of this violation of international law.
Global mobilization for next February 3
The campaign establishes as the first milestone of resistance a great global day of protest called for next February 3. This date will mark the first month of the kidnapping and will serve to consolidate the national chapters of “Bring them back!” on every continent.
Deputy Maduro Guerra, during a virtual meeting with the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA-TCP), urged social movements and solidarity groups to massify this call to break the media silence imposed by the imperialist power centers.
To support the claim in the legal field, the formation of a front of experts in international law has begun who will file formal complaints before multilateral organizations for what is considered an atrocious and unprecedented crime in modern diplomacy. This legal effort will be complemented by a strategic network of global spokespersons in charge of positioning the truth about Venezuela and dismantling the propaganda that seeks to justify the detention of the leaders, ensuring that the message of justice reaches all corners of the world.
Despite the seriousness of the scenario, the deputy highlighted the solidity of Venezuelan institutions and the absolute support of the civil-military union that has guaranteed internal stability. He highlighted the historical leadership of the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, as the first woman to lead the country’s destinies in this emergency context. Under his command, the Bolivarian Government maintains the advancement of economic and social plans, with the conviction that international popular pressure will achieve the safe return of the kidnapped leaders.
