The former Broad Front foreign minister maintained that in the Caribbean country there is “an authoritarian government that restricts human rights” and advocated for Uruguay’s role in dialogue.
The former chancellor of Uruguay during the government of Frente Amplio, Rodolfo Nin Novoawas added to the list of analyzes and considerations about the political situation in Venezuela, and stated that the Nicolas Maduro “it’s a authoritarian government that restricts the human rights, without a doubt, but it is also a government that has been favored or facilitated by the opposition itself that did not appear in the last elections 5 years ago.”
Venezuela continues to be on the lips of leaders across the political spectrum, and more and more voices are joining the rejection of the political situation in the Caribbean country after the electoral disqualification of the opponent Maria Corina Machado and the arrest of the activist Rocío San Miguel.
Now, and after the former president Jose Mujica expressed himself in this regard, the former minister of External relationships during the second government of Tabare Vazquez —and vice president during his first term— analyzed Venezuelan news along similar lines with both the leader of the Popular Participation Movement (MPP) as with the current administration.
“Venezuela has a serious democratic lack, without a doubt, and what we have to do with Venezuela is to give him some signal like the one we gave him, not to put an ambassador in that country, to suspend him from Mercosur When he violated the democratic clause, not sending him a political ambassador, in addition,” Nin Novoa pointed out, in this regard, to Subrayado.
More dialogue
The former chancellor also advocated favoring and stimulating the possibilities of dialogue between the parties so that Venezuelans can solve their internal problems. This idea is in line with the recent proposal of the Frente Amplista candidate’s team. Yamandu Orsi —from the hand of the MPP senator Alejandro “Pacha” Sánchez— to convert to Uruguay in a center for solutions to political conflicts.
In that sense, Nin Novoa recalled the dialogue mechanisms promoted during the Frente Amplio government between the Venezuelan government and the opposition with the intervention, among others, of the European Union. As well as the decision to withdraw from Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (TIAR)which allowed military intervention in Venezuela, instead of ratifying it, as the president’s administration has done Luis Lacalle Pou; an attitude criticized by the former leader who described the position “as being in the expectation that if there is a coupif there is one Military intervention of a foreign power, they applaud.”
In any case, Nin Novoa expressed “total rejection” of the statements of the vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, who described Lacalle Pou as a “lackey.” Tabaré Vázquez’s Foreign Minister questioned that the opposition had not done the same when Maduro accused him of being in collusion with the government of USA to destabilize Venezuelan democracy.
