The
former OAS ambassador warned that continued the U.S. and right-wing
opposition want to return the country to neoliberalism.
Venezuela’s
former ambassador to the Organization of American states, Roy
Chaderton Matos, warned that the right wing in the country wants to
return to the days of neoliberalism and that U.S. intervention was a
legitimate threat to Venezuelan sovereignty.
“There
are economic interests at stake and cultural powers have been
magnifying over time, as are the media corporations that are the new
forms of dictatorships,” said Chaderton Matos to Venezuela
state television.
Chaderton
Matos pointed out that the continued attacks from the OAS against
Venezuela are a clear example of how outside forces working in
concert with the opposition are planning to destabilize the country.
He questioned Colombia’s decision to seek agreements with NATO and
still had a number of troops in its territory.
“Venezuela
is not a no man's land where it will be invaded by any invading
forces to come as they please,” he said, while describing the
country as being embroiled in a "great battle against revived
fascism.”
Chaderton
Matos, who served as OAS ambassador from 2008 to 2015 and was a
foreign minister under former President Hugo Chavez, noted the
pro-government counter rallies across the streets in Caracas against
interventionism and for peace.
“Peace
is the tranquility and this with progress, development, and justice.
Peace is the result of everything good that we can do as citizens of
a free country with social justice and democracy,” he said.
On Tuesday,
Maduro echoed similar concerns against foreign intervention.
“The
U.S. government, the State Department has given the green light, the
approval for a coup process to intervene in Venezuela,” he
said.
Maduro added
that the U.S. government wrote up a coup scenario for opposition
leader Julio Borges, which consisted of fueling violence and death
which would then be blamed on the government as attacking its
political opponents and then demand immediate elections, ahead of
Maduro's official end of term in 2019.
