Venezuela rejects attempt to constitute “a new Lima Group and a new Guaidó”

This Friday, the Ministry of People's Power for Foreign Affairs strongly rejected the interventionist attitude of governments in the region that intend to reissue the deceased Lima Group and a “new Guaidó”, ignoring the re-election of the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro.

In a statement, read before the media by Foreign Minister Yván Gil, Venezuela responded to disrespectful pronouncements against the ruling of the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), which certified the results issued by the National Electoral Council (CNE) and ratifies the victory of the Venezuelan president in the elections of July 28.

Below is the full text of the document:

THE CONSTITUTION OF A NEW LIMA GROUP AND A NEW GUAIDÓ IS UNACCEPTABLE!

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects, in the strongest terms, the rude and insolent communiqué of the governments of Argentina, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Uruguay, who, emulating the nefarious, failed and defeated Lima Group, intend to continue violating international law by committing an unacceptable act of interference in matters that concern only Venezuelans.

Venezuela demands absolute respect for its sovereignty and independence, won after intense struggles against the most hostile empires that insist on getting their hands on natural resources that do not belong to them, and are trying to impose again today, a policy of regime change typical of the coups d'etat that the US empire promoted in Latin America and the Caribbean for more than 100 years.

These governments, with their position, endorse and are complicit in the criminal violence that attacked health centers, schools, universities, transports, national symbols and left a number of people killed and injured with the use of transnational criminal gangs hired for this purpose.

Just as, the people of Simón Bolívar and Hugo Chávez pulverized the attacks of the deceased Lima Group and their claim to impose a puppet government in the past through the failed adventure of Juan Guaidó, this time they will pulverize each and every one of the actions they attempt to initiate through their failed governments against the Venezuelan people.

History has been responsible for demonstrating that the fate that awaits those who dare to go against the dignity of the Bolivarian people is nothing more than international contempt and shame, as has been immortalized in the popular story that reads that:

Whoever messes with Venezuela dries up!
