News
agency EFE informs that Foreign Minister Elias Jaua gave a press conference
today at the Venezuelan Embassy in Paris. According to EFE, Jaua denounced a campaign
orchestrated by transnational interests to destabilize the country trough
violence.
“This is a campaign
that has been perfectly articulated by powerful transnational interests, and
the opposition plays a sad role: they are in charge of exercising violence
against their own compatriots,” explained Jaua.
The Foreign Minister is
on a European tour presenting the Venezuelan government’s narrative on the
recent opposition protests to UN institutions.
He has already met with Irina Bokova, General Director of UNESCO. “We have come to the headquarters of UNESCO and have met its General Director, and we have made a presentation of the whole situation that the Venezuelan people are now going through: facing an antidemocratic, violent, and armed current that has harmed basic rights such as education and communication,” declared Jaua after the meeting.
Jaua
will also travel to Rome where he will meet Food and Agriculture Organization of the
UN (FAO) officials and present evidence of an “ecocide” committed by the opposition
by cutting down trees during the protests. He will also explain that the
opposition has contaminated
drinking water sources.
“We will go to each
and every one of these institutions [so that] every day there is more and more
awareness of the [presence of a] neofascist and violent current, with high
levels of intolerance, racism and xenophobia that have unfortunately been
inoculated in Venezuelan society,” said
Jaua.
