Days after Montevideo called the Uruguayan ambassador in Venezuela, Eber da Rosa, for consultations to report on “worrying events” that threaten the holding of free elections, the president reiterated his country’s position in a press conference.
«I think it breaks your eyes that it is a dictatorship, that there are no free elections. Today again, another person unjustly detained. The one who doesn’t want to say it for a reason is, because if he barks, he has four legs and wags his tail, if someone doesn’t tell me that he is a dog for a reason it will be »declared Lacalle Pou on Sunday night.
Regarding what he expects from the consultations with Da Rosa, announced by the Uruguayan Foreign Minister, Omar Paganini, last Thursday in X, the president said that they are important to understand the current situation of the Caribbean country “from first source” with who it is ” “the eyes” of Uruguay in Caracas.
«When something happens in a country I read the things that happen, I get informed but above all I call the Uruguayan representative to tell us how people live there, what is happening there, the daily reality in this case of Venezuela, which It’s not very difficult to imagine.”Rounding.
On February 1, Lacalle Pou assured the press that the elections that Venezuela will hold in the second half of this year will not be free and democratic after the disqualification of opposition leader María Corina Machado.
