The member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) reject the spurious and interventionist OAS resolution on Venezuela’s internal affairs of this Friday, August 16, 2024.

This inadmissible resolution, promoted mainly by the United States, represents another open interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs and confirms, once again, the servile role of the OAS before Washington to promote coup plans, disregarding the institutions of the Venezuelan State to address its affairs.

ALBA-TCP reminds some governments in the region that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has not been an OAS member since 2019 and therefore that organization has no authority whatsoever to address issues related to Venezuela, much less to interfere in such a biased manner in its domestic affairs. 

Venezuela is a sovereign, free and independent nation, whose wise people have always demonstrated a profound democratic and peaceful spirit, even developing a unique model of popular democracy in the world: participatory and protagonist democracy. 

ALBA-TCP demands respect for the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people and the sovereign performance of its institutions and calls on the OAS to address its own affairs and the social, economic and governance crises suffered by several of its member states, especially in the United States of America.
