Scores of demonstrators took to the streets of Buenos Aires to call for the US President Barack Obama to revoke his executive order declaring Venezuela a security threat. Argentine workers unions joined by political parties and social organizations gathered in front of the US embassy and set up a makeshift protest tent where they held political debates and lectures about the history of the US imperialism in Latin America.
Demonstrators seized the opportunity to condemn the US support for the UK occupation of the Malvinas Islands. They slammed the unilateral economic sanctions imposed by Washington on Caracas, saying that those are just imperialist attempts aimed at destabilizing the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
Union leaders further warned that Latin America is no longer the US backyard and that the workers will stay together against the US meddling.
This demonstration takes place while the US president is attending the 7th Summit of the Americas in Panama with the presence of 35 regional heads of state. Protesters say this anti-imperialist rally is not only to blast his executive order, declaring Venezuela a national threat, but also to demand an end to the US meddling in the region.
The protest took place for over 8 hours and came to an end only after the US president addressed the civil society forum of the Summit of the Americas in Panama.
