Venezuela rejects erratic attacks from satellite governments


The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejected, through a statement, the hesitant conduct of the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Peru, signatories of the declaration of the Lima Group, who insist on their attack against the Venezuelan democratic institutionality.
Read the full communiqué of the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs:
“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela considers it necessary to make known to the Venezuelan people and the international community that the onslaught of a group of satellite governments subordinated to US imperialist plans continues to feed the obsessive objective of setting in motion a destabilizing plot against the legitimate Venezuelan democratic institutionality.
This way, the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Peru have been giving marches and countermarches through statements and communiqués in which one day they say and the next they contradict, in relation to their peculiar interpretations of the Venezuelan legal system, pretending to illegally assume the power to determine the legitimacy of the Venezuelan institutions.
Beyond the absurdity of this procedure and its unusual lack of rigor and adherence to international law, it is an object of concern that these hesitant behaviors are the response to the reprimands they have received from the US government for having offered the rectification required by the Constitutional President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros.
The governments concerned act by lending their voices to the nefarious chorus that their leader is directing to trigger situations of internal political instability that justify the foreign intervention that the US warmongering factors have been announcing without any blush.
But in spite of its nefarious intentions, in Venezuela the constitutional institutionality is in force through the operation of all its public powers, each one in its place, according to the mandate of the Constitution and not of the caprice of these satellite governments, for which, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will continue to analyze in detail the hostile attitudes of these governments and will be able to take decisions that guarantee the protection of the State and its institutions, in defense of the Republic and national sovereignty, under the unwavering precept of its sole principal: the Bolivarian Constitution of 1999″.
