Venezuela rejects Insulza (OAS) interventionist statements

Venezuela rejects Insulza interventionist statements

2/05/13.- Venezuela rejected Thursday the excessive and interfering statements by the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, "given in clear and close coordination with the State Department spokesmen and White House" which referred to the unfortunate fracas occurred on Tuesday in the National Assembly.

In a statement, the Bolivarian government calls "absolutely cynical and immoral" the claims of the OAS and the U.S. government to "create the perception of a political crisis in Venezuela which would warrant their mediation."

Press Release

The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela roundly rejects the disproportionate and interventionist statements made by the Secretary-General of the Organization of American States José Miguel Insulza, that were offered in clear and broad coordination with spokespersons of the Department of State and the White House, and through which, based on exaggerations of the lamentable brawl that occurred some days ago in the Venezuelan parliament as a result of provocations by the opposition, the attempt is made to generate the perception of a political crisis in Venezuela that would merit their mediation.

The Bolivarian government considers these attempts absolutely cynical and immoral, particularly when they come from those who have minimized or ignored the grave acts of fascist violence that occurred on April 15 of this year and in subsequent days as a consequence of the failure to recognize the electoral results by the losing candidate and his call to rage and violence after the April 14 elections.

These spokespersons have said little or nothing about the political assassinations of Venezuelan citizens, all of them supporters of the Bolivarian revolution: José Luis Ponce, Rosiris Reyes, Hender Bastardo, Luis Eduardo García, Rey David Sánchez, Johan Antonio Hernández, Henry Rangel, Keller Guevara and Johnny Alberto Pacheco. The same is true regarding the more than 70 wounded Venezuelan men and women that were the victims of political and social intolerance by opposition leadership.

It should be recalled that even deputy Julio Borges, secretary-general of the opposition party Primero Justicia, on April 15 called “to bring death to the revolution,” the consequence of that statement being the burning of seven houses of the principal democratic political party in Venezuela, which is the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).

Spokespersons have said little or nothing about the promotion on behalf of opposition leaders of a xenophobic policy against Cuban doctors and health professionals that offer services to the most humble people of Venezuela.

Despite this complicit and immoral silence by some governments and international organizations, Venezuela’s democratic institutions, together with the conscience and political maturity of the people developed by the eternal commander Hugo Chávez, were able to exorcise the anti-democratic and violent behavior by of the opposition, so that today we enjoy a country full of political and institutional stability with a legitimate and legal government directed by the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro Moros, which has gone out into the streets to attend to the social demands of our people.

Finally, the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela firmly rejects any attempt to promote any mediations that are not required, and is willing to confront with all the force it is permitted as an independent country any intervention by those who do not possess the moral authority to speak of dialogue, democracy and peace, for they have plagued the world with war, violence and death in the 20th and 21st century.

The immense democratic majority of the Venezuelan people and the institutions of the state have the legal and moral force to guarantee the political stability, peace and independence of the nation of Simón Bolivar.

And Maduro can move to Cuba and let Capriles be the legal president as he was legally elected my the people of Venezuela. And that is my humble opinion .
