This week, a wave of statements swept across Latin America and Europe after the US launched strikes on Venezuelan territory and forcibly seized President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. 🌎🚨
A coalition of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Spain and Uruguay raised an alarm in a joint declaration:
“We express our deep concern and rejection of the military actions carried out unilaterally in the territory of Venezuela, which contravene fundamental principles of international law.”
“Such actions set an extremely dangerous precedent for regional peace and security and for the rules-based international order, in addition to endangering the civilian population.”
“We reiterate that the situation in Venezuela must be resolved exclusively by peaceful means, through dialogue, negotiation, and respect for the will of the Venezuelan people in all its expressions, without external interference and in accordance with international law.”
These nations emphasize that lasting solutions come from open talks and respect for sovereignty—not force. 🤝✌️
What’s next? Observers say stability in the region is at stake, and international markets could feel the ripple effects. Stay tuned as diplomats aim to steer this crisis toward peaceful waters.
