Venezuela appeals to Caribbean neighbours for help

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, May 22 2017 – Venezuela’s Ambassador to Guyana has called on the government of Guyana and other governments across the region to intervene as Venezuela’s political crisis deepens with daily clashes between demonstrators and security forces.

“We are grateful for the support of the governments of this region and governments of the world to respect that no ill will is shown by the State. We are grateful to a show support for dialogue which the government has asked as a means of solving internal problems,” Ambassador Reina Diaz said a press conference here on Monday.

The Ambassador said the supposed peaceful demonstrations have a clear objective which is to overthrow the legitimate and constitutional President of Venezuela and reverse social achievements of Venezuelan people.

According to Diaz,  an international media campaign is underway to falsify the reality of what was taking place in Venezuela while refusing to report on the attacks on citizens and law enforcement.

“The Opposition funded by foreign aid and with media support have created matrix of hatred, persecution and aggression towards government officials and to all those who sympathize with the Bolivarian thinking.”

The call for help follows a meeting of Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Foreign Ministers in Barbados last week, during which they called for non-interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
