The ambassador representing the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
to the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Rodulfo Pérez, warned about the risks of hate
speech and disinformation campaigns against the country.
During his speech at the 224th Session of the Executive
Council of the international organization, the Venezuelan diplomat warned that
disinformation, hate speech and manipulation in the digital environment are
“phenomena that transcend virtual space with the purpose of undermining the democratic
institutions of the world's peoples.”
He noted that “these challenges are not abstract, they constitute real
threats, affecting social exposure,
international stability and even the sustainability of life.”
In addition, Pérez indicated that Venezuela has been the subject of a multiform aggression over the
last decade, which he considered to be the “longest
in contemporary history, in a context in which Venezuela has never
been at war.” At the same time, he reiterated that Venezuela is “a nation, sovereign,
resident and deeply committed to the principles of
multilateralism.”
