Nicolás Maduro accused President Luis Lacalle Pou of being “complicit in the genocide in Palestine”, while the Executive defines the successor of Eber Da Rosa.
The government will define in the next few hours who will be the new ambassador of Uruguay in view of Venezuela after the resignation for “personal reasons” of Eber Da Rosa, in the midst of a climate of diplomatic tensions that continues to escalate. Now, the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro accused his Uruguayan counterpart Luis Lacalle Pou of being “complicit” in the “genocide in Palestine”.
The intersections between the Uruguayan government and that of Venezuela They do not end, after the local Executive Branch questioned the political situation in the Caribbean country and criticized the electoral disqualification of the opponent Maria Corina Machadoas well as the arbitrary detention of the activist Rocío San Miguel —claims that were reaffirmed at the Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) last Friday.
Now, and after the attacks of the vice president Delcy Rodriguez to Lacalle Pou —calling him “lackey” USA after the president stated that in Venezuela There is “a dictatorship that breaks your eyes”—it was Maduro himself who dedicated a few words to the president of Uruguay.
“On the one hand he acts crazy with the massacres of Netanyahu in Palestine and on the other hand he intends to pontificate and pay and turn around in the internal politics of Venezuela. “How cool!” said the Venezuelan president in an interview with the local program “360°.”
In this sense, he pointed out “the double standards” of Lacalle Pou by being “complicit” in the “genocide in Palestine.” “Do you intend to give an opinion about Venezuela And why is he silent about Palestine? The double standards, the double morality…” she expressed, adding a new chapter to the current tensions between both countries.
A new ambassador to maintain diplomatic ties
The new attacks by the government of Venezuela occur while the Executive power shuffles the final candidates to fill the place that Da Rosa left vacant after resigning on February 19, in an “unwavering” and “immediate” manner.
Although there is already a name on the table, it continues to be evaluated within the government and the one who will finally have the last word will be the president. Lacalle Pou.
The objective is to “maintain diplomatic ties with Venezuela”, as the chancellor expressed Omar Paganini and as the head of state emphasized when assuring that “the relationship is with the people of Venezuela, not with the government” of Maduro, days ago.
