Venezuela Says ‘Colonial War’ Poses a Threat to International Peace
The government of Venezuela has issued a statement describing the current situation as a threat to international peace and stability, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. The message warns that attempts to impose political change through external pressure place millions of lives at risk.
The statement frames the developments as an effort to wage a “colonial war,” asserting that such attempts will fail and referring to Venezuela’s historical tradition of resisting outside intervention since the early nineteenth century. It also stresses the determination of citizens to defend the country’s independence.
The government cites its right to self-defence under international legal principles and calls for unity and national resolve in the face of current challenges. The rhetoric emphasises solidarity, resistance, and the protection of sovereignty as core elements of the national stance.
