The National Political Table of the Broad Front of Uruguay denounced that the offensive of the United States (US) government led by President Donald Trump against Venezuela, “has reached an unprecedented level of severity.”
Through a statement, they expressed that such aggression “constitutes the most evident expression of the operational updating of the Monroe Doctrine.”
The Uruguayan bloc specified that “the regional deployment of troops, destroyers, aircraft and strategic weapons systems not only directly threatens the sovereignty of Venezuela,” but also critically compromises Colombia.
“From an operation inscribed in the logic of hegemonic power, the pretext of the anti-drug fight, used to cover up the possible military invasion, falls under its own weight. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime does not classify Venezuela as a relevant producer of cocaine,” the text highlights.
In turn, he indicated that, “the DEA recognizes that 90% of the cuisine that reaches the United States enters through the Pacific and the Western Caribbean.”
Furthermore, the political organization expressed that the extreme severity of the mandatory closure of Venezuelan airspace and the military actions of imperialism against vessels in the Caribbean normalize the extraterritorial lethal use without judicial control under the expansive and politically usable label of narcoterrorism.
Likewise, it urges dialogue “for the resolution of conflicts and the multilateral space as fundamental tools for the construction of peace and global governance.”
