Roger Moreira once again expressed his political opinions on his X , amidst the international repercussions of the United States' military attack on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.
The leader of Ultraje a Rigor shared texts about Nicolás Maduro's situation and foreign intervention, provocatively expressing his point of view in favor of the US stance. This attitude has already characterized his interactions on social media and reflects his political posture aligned with the Brazilian conservative right.
In one of the posts, Roger said: “To those who talk so much about “sovereignty.” Scoundrels. Trump even did them the favor of capturing them alive. People like that deserve a bullet in the head.”.
In another post, Roger states that it would be "a dream" if all of Latin America were taken over by the United States.
Furthermore, he shared a video of Roger Waters , who also publicly defended the Venezuelan government, and wrote: "Idiots of the world, unite!"
Musicians condemn US attack on Venezuela
Following the United States' military offensive against Venezuela, other influential musicians publicly spoke out against the intervention. Guitarist Tom Morello used his X to harshly criticize the US action, even calling the country a "State of Terror" in reference to the operation and the way it was reported without Congressional approval.
Drummer Iggor Cavalera also took to social media, posting an Instagram story with the phrase "No to imperialism in Latin America," while veteran Roger Waters called the intervention a "savage aggression" and defended Venezuelan sovereignty, stating that he would support Venezuela in any way he could. These statements reflect strong opposition from rock artists to US foreign policy and resonated especially with fans and sectors critical of interventionism.
The United States launched a military operation against Venezuela, with air strikes and a swift invasion to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores , on charges of "narcoterrorism" and conspiracy. The episode was widely denounced by governments, international organizations, and social movements as a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty and international law.
