Granma: Another imperialist attack against Venezuela: US steals Presidential plane in an attempt to Escalate Conflict “Once again, the U.S. authorities, in a repeated criminal practice, which cannot be described as anything other than piracy, have illegally seized an aircraft that has been used by the President of the Republic, justifying themselves in the coercive measures that they unilaterally and illegally impose around the world.” This is how the Venezuelan Government denounced yesterday’s seizure of an airplane that was in the Dominican Republic and was taken to the state of Florida. This is the second case of illegal seizure of Venezuelan aircraft this year, following the theft of the Boeing 747 owned by Venezuelan company Emtrasur, with the support of the Argentine government on February 12. Orinoco Tribune: President Maduro Reiterates Support For Honduras’ President Castro After Honduran Coup Attempt “On behalf of the people of Venezuela, of the Bolivarian and revolutionary government that I preside over and of all the popular forces of our country, we give all the support and solidarity to President Xiomara Castro and the popular forces of Honduras in the face of this attempted coup d’état. On August 28, Honduran President Xiomara Castro terminated the extradition treaty of Honduras with the US amid a diplomatic tension created by the US ambassador in Tegucigalpa, Laura Dogu, who had criticized a recent meeting of Honduran authorities with Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, whom the US official branded as a “narco-trafficker.” Maduro emphasized that President Castro not only leads Honduras but also presides over the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), a fundamental body for the unity and independence of the region. “No one should forget, at this time, that she is the president of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. This coup d’état that she denounces is against the government of the progressive and revolutionary forces of Honduras and is also against CELAC.” “The objective of the gringos is to destroy CELAC, divide all of Latin America and the Caribbean, and leave us without the instrument that we have for independence and unity that is the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.” Ultima Noticias: Samuel Moncada: US is a machine for intervening in other countries’ electoral systems Amid US interference in Venezuela’s elections, Moncada called it ironic that the United States says regarding the influence of foreign governments like Russia in its own electoral system “that it is illegal, that it is a violation of international law, of its national laws, when this is precisely what they do with the elections in Venezuela.” “The United States is a machine for intervening in the electoral systems of several countries,” it does so through open and covert operations, the latter being the most difficult to detect. He pointed out that the United States also seeks to create divisions in the middle ranks of the Venezuelan Armed Forces and the police. |
