Juan Guaido pointed once morest Alberto Fernandez for his recent speech at the Summit of the Americasin which he reproached the United States, the organizing country, for the absence of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua. In the same vein, he also criticized the Mexican president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorwho did not attend the meeting in Los Angeles, precisely because not all countries had been invited.
“I very much regret the position of President Fernández and President López Obrador in relativizing what is happening in Venezuela. I doubt very much that any of them would have liked, much less our Argentine brothers, the presence of (Rafael) Videla, for example, at the Summit of the Americasor have relativized, with the pain of the victims, the violation of human rights,” said the Venezuelan opposition leader, in dialogue with CNN.
“In Venezuela there is a dictatorship, which is reflected in 7 million immigrants and refugeeswhich is reflected in 94% of poverty in our country, which is reflected in child malnutrition, which is very painful for the development of our children and future generations, which is reflected in the absence of free and fair elections to express the people,” continued Guaidó.
“Call in some other way that is not dictator to Nicholas Maduro it is to revictimize an entire society, which today resists all those crimes once morest humanity. Because we are not denouncing a previous regime, we are denouncing this regime, which we resist, which tried to generate violence or generated it over the weekend in San Carlos. Fortunately, it is not that we were victims, but that we once once more survived that violence of the dictatorship and that we are going to continue exercising our rights, ”he concluded, referring to the attacks he suffered last Saturday.
Meanwhile, in his speech at the Summit, Alberto Fernández had expressed: “We definitely would have wanted another Summit of the Americas. The silence of the absent challenges us”. “So that this does not happen once more, I would like to make it clear for the future that the fact of being the host country of the Summit does not grant the ability to impose a ‘right of admission’ on the member countries of the continent. Dialogue in diversity is the best instrument to promote democracy, modernization and the fight once morest inequality”, she completed, referring to Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.
“From the periphery in which we are placed, Latin America and the Caribbean look with pain at the suffering that sister peoples endure. Cuba endures a blockade of more than six decades imposed in the years of the Cold War and Venezuela tolerates another while a pandemic that devastates humanity drags millions of lives with it”, added the Argentine President in his speech.
For his part, the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, had spoken in Los Angeles in the same direction as Guaidó: “I would not have liked (Augusto) Pinochet, (Rafael) Videla and Gregorio Álvarez to be in this room.” Almagro thus compared the dictators of the last century in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay with Nicolás Maduro, Daniel Ortega and Miguel Díaz Canel. In turn, he clarified that “the dictatorship is not a matter of ideologies” and urged “to work together with the countries of the region and cooperate in favor of the human rights of citizens.”
