Speech by President Nicolás Maduro read by Foreign Minister Carlos Faría at the UN General Assembly, September 24, 2022 The North of the world has to accept the indisputable emergence of new powers and new leaderships such as China, Russia, India, Iran, Turkey. They have to open themselves to the possibility of being part of a multipolar, pluricentric and hegemonism-free world. It is urgent an ethical change in the old powers in favor of the construction of a new common world without colonized or colonizers, where the solutions of our peoples are worked together.
Nicaragua Speech to the UN General Assembly, September 26, 2022 We come to speak on behalf of a heroic, dignified, sovereign, free People, who, together with so many other heroic, dignified, sovereign and free Peoples of the planet, have been demonstrating and exercising our national dignity and sovereignty, faced over centuries with the avarice, the colonial and imperial greed which from Europe and from the North of this wounded Continent, has raged, attacking, intervening in, invading and occupying our Sacred Lands…It is time to do more to make a reality the right of the Peoples to a United Nations Organization that represents us all, one that does not submit to the designs of any imperialist power.

Evo Morales: “There is a Democratic Rebellion throughout Latin America and the Caribbean” (Spanish original) For the empire, who are the terrorists? Social movements. I remember in 2002, the United States Ambassador, Manuel Rocha, said “don’t vote for Evo Morales, Evo Morales is an Andean Bin Laden and the coca growers the Taliban.” So the “terrorists” are now presidents.

I feel that this American doctrine falls apart.
