“That is why we want to inform you that in the last hours We have been irrefutably informed of a plan drawn up within the neo-fascist right, whose objective was to carry out a series of attacks against our delegation, headed by the president, Nicolás Maduro, for which they intend to put on a ‘show ‘ woefulin order to disturb the positive effects of such an important regional event, and thus contribute to the discredit campaign -already unsuccessful- that has been launched against our country from the North American empire”.
For this reason, the statement adds later, “We have made the responsible decision to send our country’s foreign minister as head of delegation.”
It adds that the Venezuelan government thanks the Argentine president, Alberto Fernández, for “his cordial invitation and for his firm decision to guarantee the success of this great meeting.”
