Committee for the Abolition
of Illegitimate Debt

As coordination unit for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Committee for the Abolition of Third World Debt - Abya Yala Our America CADTM AYNA - social organisation struggling against the illegitimate debt that Northern countries have imposed on the peoples of the South - we express our profound sorrow at the death of Commander President HUGO RAFAEL CHAVEZ FRIAS. We grieve over the loss of a key revolutionary in the struggle to emancipate the peoples.

On behalf of the regional coordination team for Latin America and the Caribbean of the Committee for the Abolition of Third World Debt - CADTM AYNA – in addition to our sorrow, we also express our support for, and our solidarity, with the sovereign people of our sister Republic of Venezuela that now has, in its hands, the revolutionary banner of the Bolivarian process that must be defended until the victory of Commander Chavez’s legacy is achieved.

We stand resolutely committed with the Bolivarian people of Venezuela to continue to build the revolutionary and democratic process that is being strengthened in Latin America. Today, more than ever, we need to be vigilant to prevent right-wing Venezuelan extremists and the international bourgeoisie from derailing the democratic process that the Venezuelan people launched in 1999.
