The Minister of Popular Power for Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Yván Gil, said that Venezuela can give lessons in dignity and constitutional order to the foreign minister of the Peruvian government (Hugo de Zela), who is the product of a coup against President Pedro Castillo, and of a subsequent process tainted by illegitimacy.

In his account on the social network Telegram, Gil asserted that “hopefully the Peruvian people will recover sooner rather than later their true essence as a Bolivarian people, kidnapped today by those who stole democracy and keep it without popular support, hiding behind speeches full of cynicism.”

This was stated by the Venezuelan foreign minister in response to the publication of the aforementioned Peruvian official, regarding a meeting with the extremist opposition María Corina Machado.
