OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE NUMBER 1 FROM THE VENEZUELAN NATIONAL RESISTANCE

Resolution concerning the position of Venezuelan citizens who continue
street protests against the Castro-Communist regime that operates
illegally in Venezuela.

WHEREAS:

The noble people of Venezuela, sick of the treason by the militaristic
cabal and Castro-Communism agents who control power, went out February
2, 2014 in the state of Tachira to protest against insecurity,
inflation, scarcity and plundering of Venezuelan resources and were
repressed and attacked by the repressive forces of the regime, causing
dozens of injuries and several detentions.

WHEREAS:

The national discontent, in the face of the oppressive economic crisis
unleashed by the Castro-Communist Agent Nicolas Maduro Moros, after the
devaluation of the currency, permitting the monthly plundering of a
billion dollars in order to maintain and reconstruct the economy of the
island of Cuba, attacking and destroying Venezuelan enterprises,
subjecting the people to outrageous shortages that keep them demoralized
and frustrated in long lines in order to obtain basic products, caused
the rest of the country and some 50 cities to join a national protest
today converted into a RESISTANCE.

WHEREAS:

The military, Diosdado Cabello, which occupies the presidency of the
National Assembly and the engineer Rafael Ramirez, in the presidency of
the PDVSA, are co-authors of the nation's economic damage, after being
the executive arms of each measure that directly benefits them and their
corrupt groups embedded in the exchange control authorities.

WHEREAS

The protests that have had a peaceful character and that have been
attacked cruelly by armed groups of mercenaries and assassins in the pay
of the regime, gathered in the so-called social collectives, identified
as Tupamaros, La Piedrita, Carapaicas, and another 92 groups with an
average of 100 to 120 members each, have caused hundreds of injuries,
damage to private property and residences throughout the country,
student deaths, which demonstrates a Terrorist and Assassin State with
the purpose of generating fear and chaos in the civil population that
today heroically RESISTS in the streets the crimes against humanity to
which they have been subjected.

WHEREAS:

Already ten Venezuelan citizens, students, have been assassinated in the
streets of Venezuela in the middle of civil and peaceful protests.
Crimes committed by the regime's mercenaries, calling themselves
"collectives" or the Bolivarian National Guard, bodies that act together
and are what sustain the criminal and traitorous cabal clinging to power.

WHEREAS:

There are hundreds of complaints of unlawful arrests, outside the legal
order, warrantless searches, torture of detainees, students subjected to
reporting regimes, the illegal incarceration of the citizen Leopoldo
Lopez, national leader of the Popular Will party, attacks on political
parties and persecution.

WHEREAS:

Amid the regime's desperation it has sought to develop with the
political agents of the opposition, gathered in the Board of Democratic
Unity, who call for deposing the civil street protests, offering A
DIALOGUE as the only exit from the massive social, economic and
political crisis that Venezuela is living through and that said
political agents have failed in those efforts.

WHEREAS:

The regime has implemented a ferocious censorship and media manipulation
in order to prevent Venezuelan citizens from being up to date on the
reality of events, subjecting dailies to newsprint shortages, purchasing
through intermediaries audio-visual means of communication, radio and
written, using Conatel as a censor entity and repressor of radio
broadcasts in almost the whole country in order to try to hide from the
world the crimes they are committing.

RESOLVED:

FIRST:

We decide to maintain, intensify and redouble the efforts of the protest
action, now become NATIONAL RESISTANCE, until the following objectives
are reached:

a) We demand that the members of the armed collectives and those loyal
to Castro-Communism be disarmed, investigated and incarcerated and that
the para-military action of these groups, which has cost lives, be stopped.

b) We demand that citizens Jose Gregoiro Vielma Mora and Francisco
Ameliach, both governors from the states of Tachira and Carabobo,
respectively, be subject to immediate investigation for being the
masterminds and around whom revolve the action orders of the collective
mercenaries who kill students in cold blood.

c) The RESISTANCE in the streets will continue in protest, the petition
for SURRENDER AND JAIL for the citizens mentioned in point (b) of the
First Resolution.

d) We demand at stop to the regime's attack on all the productive
enterprises established in the country, in all areas. The primary
sector, manufacturing and commerce, so that the lines of production may
be re-established and to avoid the famine that Venezuela has entered.

e) We demand the criminal and independent investigation of citizen
Diosdado Cabello who has been at the front of the military operations of
the Bolivarian National Guard against the noble people of Venezuela,
committing crimes against humanity, registered and documented, carried
out by officials of said repressive body.

f) We demand the removal of all the high command of the Bolivarian
National Guard, chiefs of the various detachments, to submit them all to
investigation as being suspected of committing war crimes against the
people of Venezuela.

g) We demand the removal and criminal investigation of citizen Rafael
Ramirez, president of PDVSA, primarily responsible for the economic
debacle that lives on in the country, who is at the head of the regime's
economic decisions by being the vice-president of the economic area of
the PSUV, singled out as promoting and being part of the corruption in
Cadivi, the shipment of oil tankers without any record to criminal
regimes like that of Syria, producing inflation and poverty in Venezuela.

h) We demand the irrefutable and non-negotiable surrender of citizen
Nicolas Maduro Moros from position as president of the Republic, who
must submit himself to investigation and first of all demonstrate his
authentic Venezuelan nationality, clarifying to the country with
reliable proofs all the events related to the physical disappearance of
Lt. Col. Hugo Chavez who held the presidency in order to clear the
legality of his ascendance to power being Vice President in the
administration of the deceased President. To be investigated in
relation to Cuba and the rest of the Latin countries that receive oil
perks from Venezuela in order to buy political consciousness and votes
in the Organization of American States (OAS). To be investigated for his
participation in orders centered on the mercenary collectives to
massacre Venezuelan citizens.

i) We demand the FULL LIBERTY of all fellow students and civilians
detained in the protests and the investigation of each case of torture,
raid or persecution and to establish responsibility and criminal
punishments for each soldier implicated.

j) We demand full freedom for all citizens considered political
prisoners for years, including the leader of the Popular Will and the
end of the persecution of the rest of the leaders of that party.

k) We demand the dismissal of the entire board of directors of Conatel
and their prosecution for violating Human Rights in accessing the
information of every citizen, after the repressive censorship that it
has imposed on the people in the last two weeks.

l) We demand the mass surrender of the High Military Command, generals
traitorous to the people of Venezuela, repressors and assassins,
suspected of being narco-traffickers, submitted by the foreign military
and civil forces of occupation from Cuba.

m) We demand the immediate expulsion from Venezuela of all the Cuban
Castro-Communist agents present in the operations against civil,
political and economic liberties of Venezuela.

SECOND:

We demand the creation of an Independent National Commission for
Criminal Investigation, legally binding, with protection so that it may
carry out the investigations that they manage to take before national
and international justice according to each case of those responsible
for the destruction of Venezuela and the crimes against humanity.

THIRD:

We declare that the Democratic Unity Board (MUD) is not representative
of the NATIONAL RESISTANCE, we hold political support in that instance,
nevertheless all the protest and resistance operations do not depend on
any policy of MUD, by which none is authorized by the demonstrations in
the streets to establish dialogues or negotiations with the regime in
the name of the RESISTANCE. Any kind of decision that MUD wants to
express before the regime must be framed with these points: a through m
of the Number One Resolution of this communique.

FOURTH:

We reaffirm that the RESISTANCE will not cede before any kind of
negotiation that involves the traitorous members of the country
maintaining their positions in power and establishing negotiating tables
to investigate and establish penalties. The people of Venezuela remember
that this tactic was applied in the 2002-2003 crisis, manipulated by
José Vicente Rangel, when he established the Negotiating Table, not
allowing the so-called "truth commission" to investigate the events of
April 2002, rather they used it to unjustly imprison scapegoats,
political prisoners today.

FIFTH:

We urge all civilians, doctors, teachers, professors, public employees,
workers, employees, independent civilian, grassroots residents, middle
class and wealthy to maintain RESISTANCE IN THE STREETS WITH PEACEFUL
PROTEST METHODS AND THAT ARE THAT ARE PART OF THE OPERATIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN DEVELOPED TO RESIST THE CRIMINAL SCHEME OF THE CASTRO-COMMUNIST
REGIME WHOSE FACE IN VENEZUELA IS NICOLAS MADURO MOROS.

In the streets of Venezuela, on the 23rd of February 2014
