Venezuela’s Deputy Minister for Latin America, Rander Peña, criticized the interventionist statements against the Bolivarian nation by Presidents Gabriel Boric and Santiago Peña, of Chile and Paraguay, respectively, during the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations held this Tuesday.
He accused Boric of betraying and using the Chilean people by presenting himself “as a leftist and popular option, and you ended up crawling submissively towards the Pinochet right, begging them for clemency and forgiveness in exchange for your servile, obedient spokesperson for fascism. You have stolen the hope of your people.”
“We have seen throughout these years of popular struggle, little people like you, who seeking notoriety end up being part of the club of losers, at the end of the day you will be remembered for what you are: a coward as a subject, a failure in politics and despised by those who knew you, you will be left alone with your conscience Boric, which is quite damaged,” he argued in a post on his Telegram account.
Peña remembered the young Chileans who lost their eyes at the hands of the police who acted under the orders of former President (Sebastián) Piñera, and emphasized that Boric “is to his right.”
“You will never come close to having the moral and political strength that the Bolivarian Revolution possesses. You are just a blink in history, an attempt at a president and you will be a bad memory for your people,” he said.
“Paraguay is the most corrupt system in Latin America”
On the other hand, Rander Peña confronted the Paraguayan president’s “infamous statements” of whom he said is “the representative of the most corrupt system in Latin America.”
“He lacks the courage to maintain an independent foreign policy; he was given a script of what he had to say about Venezuela and he said it,” he argued.
He criticized Santiago Peña for “using the cliché of wanting to interfere in external affairs to divert attention from his internal affairs; a totally predictable classic for weak, fragile governments without their own identity.”
He also recalled that the Paraguayan political system “is plagued by issues related to drug trafficking, organized crime and corruption,” which is why the president of that country “is more than morally incapable of even uttering the name of Venezuela.”
“We know that acting intelligently is difficult for you, but we believe that you can do better,” he lashed out.
