              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">The Bolivarian
                Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects and protests
                the comments expressed by Admiral Kurt Tidd, commander
                of the United States Southern Command, which lay the
                groundwork for an attack on Venezuela under the aegis of
                the false doctrine of collective regional security. </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">On Thursday,
                April 6 2017, Admiral Kurt Tidd declared that: “…The
                growing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela could
                eventually compel a regional response”. This
                affirmation, aimed at creating uncertainty and
                instability in the country, is framed within the
                interventionist order of a group of governments that are
                harassing and relentlessly hounding Venezuela through
                the construction of false assumptions accompanied by
                operations in the media and fraudulent processes within
                the framework of the Organization of American States
                (OAS). </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">This is nothing
                new. This is exactly the same script that has been
                repeated by the spokespeople and regional executioners
                of the interventionist plan against Venezuela to justify
                their avaricious ambitions with regards to our
                resources, seriously threatening the peace of our
                homeland. </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">Just as his
                predecessor John Kelly, who at the end of 2015 voiced
                false opinions about the political, economic and social
                situation of the country, which without a doubt formed
                part of the well-known script for interference and
                provocation to justify, in the name of humanitarian
                reasons and the subterfuge of a “regional response”, a
                future military intervention in our territory whose real
                objective is simply to overthrow the legitimately
                elected government. </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">It is
                particularly worrying that such declarations are being
                made in this moment, when a ferocious international
                attack is being carried out against Venezuela through
                the General Secretary of the OAS and a cohort of
                countries allied to the US government, which undoubtedly
                form part of the same plan under development to dominate
                our people. </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">We alert the
                international community to the plan which is underway to
                undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
                Venezuela, contravening the United Nations’ Charter and
                its principles and aims. This is a call to the peoples
                of Our America in the face of these serious occurrences
                against our country. </p>
              <p class="m_7604511603420932800gmail-p1">The Bolivarian
                Republic of Venezuela rejects this latest act of
                interference, which is against the principle of the
                self-determination of the people, and ratifies its
                unshakeable commitment to the institutions of the
                Bolivarian Republic to defend its liberty, sovereignty
                and the independence of the nation, as part of the
                historic legacy of our liberators.</p>
