The head of the Parliamentary Bloc of the Homeland, deputy Tania Díaz, urged the member countries of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) to defend the Caribbean as a zone of peace.
This was expressed after the ordinary session this Tuesday, in which the Plenary of the National Assembly (AN) unanimously approved the declaration of persona non grata to the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, for her collaboration in the military threats of the United States (USA) against Venezuela.
The parliamentarian warns that the region should not allow Trinidad and Tobago to violate the Peace Zone commitment signed by the Celac countries in 2014, nor should it set a precedent for violating international law. “There is a lot that this ruler is putting at stake individually and irresponsibly, and that is why Venezuela is raising its voice, raising the flag of peace and coexistence,” said Díaz.
He added that Persad-Bissessar, even beyond promoting the conflict in the region, has acted against its own population, by not defending the murdered fishermen and by promoting, through a statement, the conditions that allowed these crimes.
In reference to the suspension of energy cooperation between both Caribbean nations, he assessed that Venezuela would not be as affected as the island country, which could repeat the same erroneous pattern as Europe by canceling the gas agreements with Russia and opting for triangulated negotiations with the United States.
To conclude, Tania Díaz pointed out that the United States policy in the Caribbean is neocolonial in nature and represents a reissue of the Monroe Doctrine, which is why she urges Trinidad and Tobago to reflect on whether it will continue to submit as a colony or act in line with the historical evolution of humanity in recent decades.
