WASHINGTON, Aug 2 (Reuters) - The leaders of foreign affairs committees of the U.S. Congress and legislatures across Europe have joined to condemn the Venezuelan government’s handling of last weekend’s disputed election, according to a statement seen by Reuters, an unprecedented show of unity intended to pressure Caracas to release full vote tallies.
Senator Ben Cardin, who chairs the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, worked with his counterparts across Europe to work collectively to put pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
“Our governments are closely monitoring the situation in Venezuela, and will work together to hold Maduro accountable should he continue to disregard the democratic will of Venezuelan voters to steal yet another election,” said the statement, seen by Reuters ahead of its expected release.
By early Friday, leaders of foreign affairs committees from legislatures in Armenia, Moldova, Latvia, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Denmark and Romania had signed on to a statement, said a source familiar with the discussions.
So based on suspicion, potential indications, circumstantial evidence, and bloody hopes rooted in political bias and grabby hands it must be the moral duty of the Free West to liberate all these helpless brown people that just can’t figure out how to start a revolution.
Actually, IIRC they do know how to do revolutions. I think they’ll be ok without your fat fingers in their pie, mate.
Dubious is your opinion on any subject.
Besides, 5 M expatriates were held out of the ellection. Even with put the tallies, the ellection is a complete farse…
Al menos hablas español? O sos un chanchito del hemisferio norte jugando a revolucionario?
Whatever your reason for saying that is, there is nothing I could possibly reply with that would make you consider any perspective I have to offer. Yet, here I go.
I understand Spanish to some degree because I have family in Colombia, but I suck at using it. I could trivially use a translation tool to help me compose a witty response, but that would change nothing.
The fact that this is besides the point is the very point I’m making: stay. the. fuck. out. of. other. countries’. internal. politics. It’s really quite simple. Unless you are an imperialist, obviously.
