Statement by the Communist Party of Venezuela on U.S. Air Military Maneuvers over Caracas and the Deepening of Imperialist Tutelage:
"The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV), elected at its 16th National Congress (November 2022), categorically rejects the U.S. military air maneuvers scheduled to take place over Caracas on Saturday, May 23.
These military operations represent a dangerous escalation of imperialist interference in Venezuela and a direct affront to national sovereignty.
At a time when the country is already suffering the consequences of growing foreign domination and political subordination to U.S. interests, the presence of American military aircraft over the Venezuelan capital constitutes an unacceptable act of intimidation and provocation.
The PCV warns that these maneuvers are taking place amid the deepening of policies aimed at favoring transnational capital through the handover of strategic energy and mineral resources, the flexibilization of labor rights, administrative opacity and increasing restrictions on democratic freedoms. According to the Party, the current situation reflects an intensification of imperialist tutelage over Venezuela under the guise of “stabilization” and “security cooperation.”
The Party stresses that the Venezuelan people must reject all forms of foreign military interference and defend the country’s sovereignty, democratic rights and national independence against imperialist aggression.
The PCV also denounces the role of both domestic and international political sectors that seek to normalize the growing U.S. military and political presence in Venezuela, warning that such developments threaten to further undermine the country’s sovereignty and deepen the crisis affecting working people.
Reaffirming its anti-imperialist position, the Communist Party of Venezuela calls on workers, peasants, youth and popular sectors to remain vigilant and organized against foreign intervention, militarization and all attempts to subordinate Venezuela to the strategic interests of U.S. imperialism."

PCV has been against PSUV for a very long time and this author seems to be an ultra, especially if you look at the reporting on China you'll see he is subscribing to a very typical hard line of China as a fully capitalist nation that is not anti-imperialist and only self motivated
IIRC it has been against the PSUV since Maduros government became more and more revisionist
