President Nicolas Maduro and the Venezuelan government published a letter in the New York Times to the people of the United States on Tuesday. In the letter, Maduro argued that Venezuelans are peaceful people and demanded that the recent sanctions passed by U.S. President Barack Obama March 9 be revoked, a TeleSur report said.
Maduro proposed to Venezuelans Sunday that the letter be available in “all the plazas of the country” and be signed by 10 million people.
“We’re going to run a giant campaign in every corner of the country, with soldiers, worker-soldiers, workers… and we’re going to… have at least 10 million people sign the letter and send it … to the White House,” Maduro said.
