Havana_  The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MinRex) strongly condemned the resolution against Venezuela approved at the 48th General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS), held on June 5.

According to Radio Habana Cuba, the Director-General of Latin America and the Caribbean of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Eugenio Martínez considered it interference in the internal affairs of that South American country.

The resolution adopted does not contribute to the dialogue in Venezuela, the official added, recalling that the pressure exerted by several OAS members prevented reaching an agreement between Caraca’s government and the opposition.

'The government of the United States does not have moral authority as the discredited Organization of American States does not have it either to offer lessons in democracy and human rights,' Martinez said at a press conference.

He highlighted the position of 'a large group of countries that honorably did not support this resolution.'

The document calls on OAS member states to take measures to destabilize the order in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which means incitement to violence and the imposition of sanctions and unilateral coercive measures, incompatible with the principles of international law and contrary to the proclamation of Latin America as Zone of Peace.

Given this step taken by several states in the OAS, MINREX reiterates its strong support for the Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution, the civic-military union of the Venezuelan people and its legitimate and democratic government, led by constitutional president Nicolás Maduro Moros.
