The international affairs analyst of CNN Lourival Sant’anna criticized the position of Brazil, Colombia and Mexico in relation to the political situation in Venezuela.
At the CNN Prime Time this Thursday (1st), Sant’anna argued that by asking the Venezuelan population not to demonstrate, these countries are, in fact, supporting the dictatorial regime of Nicolás Maduro.
Sant’anna questioned the effectiveness and legitimacy of the actions proposed by Latin American governments to deal with the Venezuelan crisis. Four key concepts are mentioned in the joint statement: expeditious action, institutions, demonstrations and non-interference.
The idea of an “expeditious action” in relation to the electoral records is unfeasible, according to the analysis, since the deadline for immediate transmission of the results has already passed.
“An expedient action regarding the minutes would be to transmit them on Sunday evening [28]so there is no way to be quick, impossible”, he stated.
“It is not possible for there to be action by institutions because there are no institutions in Venezuela,” added Sant’anna, arguing that bodies such as the justice system, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the armed forces and the police have been captured by the Maduro regime.
Historical interference by Brazil
Sant’anna refuted the claim of non-interference as a tradition of Brazilian diplomacy.
“In the case of Venezuela and the Lula government, there has always been interference in favor of the Chavista regime, and that is what we are seeing right now,” concluded Sant’anna, indicating a continuity in Brazilian foreign policy in relation to the neighboring country.
