The Permanent Mission of Venezuela to the Organization of American States (OAS) rejected today via Twitter the interference actions of some countries of the bloc (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Honduras, the United States, Mexico and Peru), which convened a Permanent Council in order to deal with internal affairs of the country, without the consent of the South American nation, which contravenes the internal rules of this instance.
“A group of countries have convened a Permanent Council of the OAS to discuss a declaration of support for the national dialogue in Venezuela. This calling is made without the knowledge or consent of Venezuela, who also made a note of protest against this interventionist behavior of a group of OAS countries”, refers the Mission in a press release published on its Twitter account.
“Venezuela’s actions facing those countries is becoming a recurring practice of ‘harassment’ of the Organization against our country and its institutions. This situation is unacceptable for our State and its sovereignty”, added the text.
However, the Venezuelan delegation thanked the positions of the nations that make up the OAS, which have sincerely supported the dialogue between the National Government and opposition sectors in order to solve the economic and political situation and consolidate peace.
“We salute the voices of support to this process of national dialogue of Governments and personalities that in good faith have bet by the same one in the frame of the respect to the nonintervention and to the national sovereignty”, expresses the Mission.
Last Saturday 12, representatives of the Government and opposition sectors agreed in Caracas to define a road map to preserve the institutional order and overcome the current economic situation, as well as it ratified the commitment to work together for peace and democracy in the country.
The next plenary of the dialogue for peace is scheduled for the upcoming December 6, when the members of the four technical panels that develop the process will meet again.
This process of dialogue counts on the presence of international companions like Monsignor Claudio Maria Celli, a special envoy of the Vatican; Ernesto Samper, secretary general of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), and former presidents José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (Spain), Leonel Fernández (Dominican Republic) and Martín Torrijos (Panama).
