Gustavo Coronel: THE DEPLORABLE STATEMENT ON VENEZUELA BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE

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.
