“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its strongest rejection of the interference, actions and statements of a group of right-wing governments, subordinate to Washington and openly committed to the most sordid ideological postulates of international fascism, trying to re-edit the failed and defeated Lima Group, which seek to ignore the electoral results of the Presidential Elections held this Sunday, July 28, 2024, which gave victory as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to Nicolás Maduro Moros, for a new constitutional period 2025-2031,” the statement said.
“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in the face of this disastrous precedent that threatens our national sovereignty, decides to withdraw all diplomatic personnel from the missions in: Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay, while demanding that these governments immediately withdraw their representatives in Venezuelan territory,” it added.
The regime stated that it will carry out all actions “that threaten the climate of peace and coexistence” in Venezuela.
