Moscow_ The Monroe Doctrine of the United States is absurd, said the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zajarova, who recalled that we are in the 21st century, when the slavery and the policy of American segregation ended, Prensa Latina publishes.

Apparently, the US government has a hard time understanding that all this has already happened, the spokesperson told the television station.

By the way, Zajarova clarifies that the doctrine's own interventionist postulate is violated now, because it stipulated that Europe does not participate in the affairs of the American region, nor the United States in those of the Old Continent.

However, Washington constantly interferes in European affairs, the Russian spokeswoman said.

The diplomat's statements answered a question about the resumption of the application in Venezuela by the White House of a doctrine that emerged in the nineteenth century to treat Latin America as its exclusive zone or backyard.

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, estimated yesterday that the doctrine was an insult to Latin America and called on governments in that region to react to its application, regardless of its position on the Venezuelan government.

On his side, the president of the Duma (Russian lower house), Vyacheslav Volodin, recalled that the Inter-Parliamentary Union last year passed a resolution rejecting interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states.

Although the United Kingdom and the United States opposed the aforementioned resolution, the vast majority of European legislators backed that measure, Volodin said.

Washington's policy is very aggressive and a general understanding of the international community about the destructive nature of that line is necessary. Now it's Venezuela, but tomorrow they can act like that against any other nation, he warned.

The president of the Duma believes that Russia and China have sufficient resources to stop the aggression against Venezuela, especially in the framework of the Security Council of the United Nations (UN).
