Below is the unofficial translation of the statement by the Venezuelan Government:
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its strongest rejection of the interventionist actions and statements of a group of right-wing governments, subordinate to Washington and openly committed to the most sordid ideological postulates of international fascism, trying to re-enact the failed and defeated Lima Group, which seek to ignore the electoral results of the presidential elections held this Sunday, July 28, 2024, which gave victory as President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to Nicolás Maduro Moros, for the upcoming constitutional term 2025-2031.
The government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in light of this disastrous precedent that threatens our national sovereignty, has decided to withdraw all diplomatic personnel from the missions in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay, while demanding that these governments immediately withdraw their representatives from Venezuelan territory.
Likewise, the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reserves all legal and political actions to demand respect, to preserve and defend our inalienable right to self-determination.
The Bolivarian government will confront all actions that threaten the climate of peace and coexistence that has demanded so much effort from the Venezuelan people, which is why we are against all interventionist and harassing statements that repeatedly attempt to ignore the will of the Venezuelan people.
Caracas, July 29, 2024.
