Venezuela rejected the insistence of the United States government of applying the old and defeated interventionist strategy, after the Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs of the State Department, Brian Nichols, reiterated that he did not plan, for the moment, to change his position regarding his dialogue with the Venezuelan authorities.
The People’s Power Minister for Foreign Relations, Félix Plasencia, pointed out that with this action, the US government points to the absurd, for refusing to accept the infallible reality of the existence of the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, led by President Nicolás Maduro, and which is decided by the only force that has the legitimate capacity to do so: That of the Venezuelan people.
The Venezuelan Chancellor recommended to the US official to stop commenting adventurously on the political reality of Venezuela and demanded the United States to hold a conversation among equals with the authorities of the Venezuelan Government, as appropriate between sovereign States.
Next Sunday, November 21, the people will demonstrate once again the legitimacy of democracy and the strength of the Venezuelan political system, by transparently electing regional and local rulers from across the country, concluded the senior official.
