Michael
J. Fitzpatrick, the spokesperson on Venezuela of the U.S. Department
of State has just given a statement on the Venezuelan situation that is
deplorable and sadly characteristic of the chaos
that prevails in the Trump administration. Fitzpatrick calls the Maduro
government a dictatorship but, at the same time, says that it will not
recognize the current National Assembly as an alternative government. He
simply forgets that this Assembly is the
only democratic, legitimate institution in the country.
He
calls the government of Maduro “legitimate”, forgetting that his
colleagues at the Department of the Treasury have just sanctioned Maduro
and designated vice president El Aissami as a money launderer
and the Minister of the Interior, Nestor Reverol as a drug trafficker.
How can these designations coexist with his definition of Maduro’s
regime as legitimate is beyond my imagination.
