Caracas (OrinocoTribune.com)—On Monday, Secretary General of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) Diosdado Cabello said that Venezuela will welcome support from people around the world to help defend the country from an imminent US military aggression.

Cabello’s statement came during the party’s weekly press conference in response to a question from Resumen Latinoamericano journalist Geraldina Colotti. She inquired about President Nicolás Maduro’s comments on Sunday regarding the creation of an internationalist militia brigade of indigenous peoples from the continent and asked if the PSUV would organize general international brigades similar to those formed to fight Franco’s fascist dictatorship during Spain’s Civil War.

“If we have not publicly called for the peoples of the world to organize to defend our country, I take this opportunity to do so from this moment, that from anywhere in the world, here is Venezuela, which is being attacked, and any help you can give us is welcome,” Cabello answered. “Here you will be received as brothers of life. Brothers of life. Love is repaid with love. That is what they say around here.”
