“Venezuela denounces and alerts the world about an intervention operation against the electoral process, our right to free self-determination and the sovereignty of our country, by a group of foreign governments and powers, said the government of the Bolivarian Republic in a statement released by Foreign Minister Yván Gil.
He said that “officials from Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic, together with a group of far-right hitmen specialized in destabilizing governments in Latin America, such as (former Colombian presidents) Iván Duque, (Argentine) Mauricio Macri, (Colombian) Andrés Pastrana, (Costa Rican) Óscar Arias, (Republican U.S. senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott) intend to distort what has been expressed today in peace and with a civic spirit in our country, which is nothing other than the exercise of the people’s right to choose.”
Referring to opposition leader Juan Guaidó, who declared himself “legitimate president” and was recognized by the United States and its allies, the Venezuelan government said: “The same people who recognized a puppet in 2019 are trying to impose him today in 2024.
“This miserable and desperate operation is destined to fail because Venezuela is a free and sovereign country and will never accept impositions or blackmail, much less from foreign entities without morals and legality to attack our rights and our people,” he said.
