Venezuelan President approves armed resistance plan in case of US attack

Mexico City, Nov 5 (UNI/SPUTNIK) Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has approved the ruling party’s proposal to initiate armed resistance if the United States launches an attack, amid the presence of US naval forces in the Caribbean under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.
"[The proposals] have been approved, and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela must immediately begin implementing them by developing operational plans for every street and community, so that our people – calmly, with restraint, yet with determination and courage – remain at the highest state of readiness," Maduro said at the congress of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, broadcast by Venezolana de Television.
The president said that he had received a document outlining "a set of ideas to transition from an unarmed struggle to an armed one to safeguard territorial integrity, dignity and the right to peace and the country’s future." The plan involves preparing the population under the constitutional framework of universal national defense for a potential national and continental armed struggle in the event of a US attack, he said.
