Caracas, March 10 (RHC-teleSUR) -- Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, in a speech celebrating the country's Day Against Imperialism, said that Latin America had raised its voice against interventionism.

“Today is Day Against Imperialism, day of courage, of dignity, for a people that chose to be free and have demonstrated over the past years that it is made out of the indestructible strength of our Liberators,” said Maduro to the Venezuelans gathered at the outdoor rally.

The ceremony was meant to reject the imperialist policy of the U.S., which issued an executive order in March 2015, during former President Barack Obama's administration declaring Venezuela a security threat for the United States.

Former U.S. President Obama also ordered sanctions against several Venezuelan officials, banning them from traveling to the United States.

The decree was renewed one year later, as Obama claimed that the alleged internal conditions in Venezuela had not changed.

All 33 members of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States expressed their opposition to the U.S. government’s move and called for its reversal. The Union of South American Nations also strongly criticized the U.S. executive order.
