VENEZUELAN Foreign Affairs Minister Jorge Arreaza denounced the EU’s attempt to destabilise talks between the government and the opposition as Brussels called on member states to adopt additional sanctions against the country.

Mr Arreaza tweeted yesterday: “The institutions of the European Union are determined to disrupt and try to destroy the dialogue process in Venezuela.

“They do not respect sovereignty, nor the right to peace. What would Jean Monnet think?”
