The National Political Bureau of the Broad Front of Uruguay denounced that the offensive of the United States government led by President Donald Trump against Venezuela, “has reached an unprecedented level of seriousness.”

In a statement, they said that such aggression “constitutes the most obvious expression of the operational revival 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 embedded in the logic of hegemonic power, the pretext of the fight against drugs, 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.

He also indicated that, “the DEA recognizes that 90% of the cuisine that reaches the United States enters through the Pacific and the western Caribbean.”

In addition, the political organization said that the extreme seriousness of the mandatory closure of Venezuelan airspace and the military actions of imperialism against vessels in the Caribbean normalize lethal extraterritorial use without judicial control under the expansive and politically usable label of narco-terrorism.

It also urges dialogue “for conflict resolution and multilateral space as fundamental tools for peacebuilding and global governance”.
