Morales asks parliamentary coalition to pass resolution in support of Maduro government

President Evo Morales asked the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIP), which met yesterday in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, to adopt a resolution in support of the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which is facing protests from the opposition.

“Before it was because of a military coup, now they cannot govern. If we seek peace, it is not through war and not through intervention. My request is that they issue a resolution defending democracy in Venezuela. “He is a democratically elected president and government,” Morales said yesterday at the opening of the International Parliamentary Conference on “Parliament and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”.

The head of state, at the opening of the conference, urged more than 80 parliamentarians representing 20 countries to comment on reports of US “military intervention” in Venezuela to “expropriate its natural resources”. Morales reiterated his remarks of March 20, when he backed up his claims through press publications. “The goal of this aggression is to become the owner of Venezuela’s oil,” he said.
