"Venezuela lacks democracy, its regime has authoritarian traits and poses risks for the Latin American region, said Mexico's foreign secretary, Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray Caso, guest of the Americas Conference Series with Andrés Oppenheimer, speaks on Tuesday, May 30, 2017 at the Braman Miller Center of the University of Miami., adding that his country would plead for a ruling on the case at the meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization of American States on Wednesday in Washington.
"Mexico will not stop using all diplomatic channels, including the OAS, in order to have a constructive impact on achieving a peaceful solution to the restoration of democracy. We have a country that, in fact, is no longer a functional democracy. Today it is not a democracy,” he said Tuesday during a town hall-style conversation with Miami Herald columnist Andrés Oppenheimer, organized by the Miami Herald and el Nuevo Herald at the University of Miami."
