Venezuela: Demand for OAS to stop US-backed ‘harassment’
VENEZUELA demanded the Organisation of American States (OAS) cancel a special session set for yesterday aimed at censuring its socialist government.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez denounced OAS secretary-general Luis Almagro from the bloc’s headquarters in Washington on Monday, a day before the scheduled permanent council meeting.
The council was to consider Mr Almagro’s second attempt in less than a year to invoke the organisation’s democratic charter against Venezuela in support of right-wing opposition demands for early presidential elections.
