In a message published on his Telegram channel, the Venezuelan Foreign Minister argued that the European Foreign Minister lost “all sense of political and diplomatic ridicule” and fired “expletives and threats instead of thanking the Bolivarian Government for keeping communication channels open.” dialogue, despite the attacks and violations of international law.”
Gil stressed that the Netherlands “has a dark history in recent years,” which includes the support and logistics provided to fascist groups that have tried to sow violence in Venezuela.
The Bolivarian Foreign Minister’s statements are a response to Veldkamp’s statements against the National Government and President Nicolás Maduro.
