Venezuela asks the UN to condemn coup d'état in progress


“What happens today in Venezuela has a precedent: April 11, 2002 when they were behind that coup d’état and recognized dictator Pedro Carmona Estanga”, said the Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs, Jorge Arreaza.
From the Security Council of the United Nations Organization he noted that, this time, the current government chaired by Donald Trump took the lead in this new attempt, and this requested its condemnation by this multilateral body.
He reiterated that the government of the North American country flagrantly violates the UN Charter, and thus its authorities are the ones who must be put in the accused seat.
He denounced that the disowning of President Maduro was already agreed months before the elections, when due to pressure from Washington to the European Union, they decided not to send international companions to the electoral process on May 20.
However, this block accused the electoral event of being fraudulent, reason why Arreaza asked to demonstrate the alleged fraud with which they intend to sustain the non-recognition of the Venezuelan authorities.
Through the path of dialogue:
The Venezuelan Foreign Minister said that on January 23, “we prevented another tragedy like that of April 11, 2002, like the one in 2014, when the extremist opposition took the streets in a violent way to try to overthrow the legitimate government”.
In addition, he confirmed that the South American country supports the dialogue initiatives that countries such as Uruguay, Mexico and the Caribbean Community (Caricom) have proposed:
“They will not be able to lead us to a civil war in Venezuela”, added Arreaza during his speech.
