The US State
Department makes some aggressive moves aimed at canceling the
elections for the National Constituent Assembly in Venezuela, the
last 24 hours.
Just days
after the director of CIA revealed that he had contacts with
officials in Mexico and Colombia to overthrow President Maduro, the
US embassy in Caracas is removing the families of its diplomats and
staff from the country.
At the same
time, the US Ambassador in Nicaragua, Laura Dogu, has openly
threatened the country's government with sanctions for its relations
with Venezuela. The US diplomat stated that the US government and
Congress know which countries support Venezuela, and added that
Nicaragua has not so many friends in Washington to be able to support
Caracas.
Washington
has been threatening Nicaragua for years with a financial embargo - a
tool that now uses for its plans to overthrow the Venezuelan
president.
For his
part, the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, warned that Washington's
possible intervention in Venezuela could lead to armed conflicts and
blamed the Secretary General of the Organization of American States
for interfering in Venezuela's domestic political life.
The US
imposed financial sanctions on 13 officials in Venezuela, including
the Ombudsman, Tarek William Saab. In the past, Saab had accused
members of the opposition of threatening to set fire to his home and
burn down members of his family.
