Venezuela is staggering in the face of a years-long power struggle, food shortages, hyper-inflation and an exodus of its citizens.
The country’s foreign minister says, Blame Canada.
Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza is part of Nicolas Maduro’s government, which most Western countries no longer recognize, but it does still control most of the country’s institutions. He was speaking through Zoom to a Canadian audience on Thursday, in an event organized by the left-leaning Canadian Foreign Policy Institute.
Canada and most other Western nations have backed Juan Guaidó, a former member of the country’s national assembly who declared himself the interim president in 2019 after Maduro’s re-election in what many say was a fraudulent vote.
In 2017, Canada helped to form the Lima Group, a group of countries, including most of the major countries in North and South America, to call for Maduro to step down and for free elections to be held in the country.
In a lengthy speech Thursday, Arreaza said the Canadian government was attempting to undermine Venezuela to take the nation’s wealth.
“Canada has been in the centre of these events and this means that they want to create the conditions in order to attack Venezuela, to invade Venezuela, because they want to take control of our country and its wealth.”
The Lima Group specifically rules out any type of violence of force as a means to change in Venezuela. The U.S. is not a member of the group, but has said it supports its aims.

It would not surprise me if there was truth to this.

When the ‘Rat political minions gain total power, will they let the democracy vote them out of power?
I didn’t think so.
Why isn’t Venezuela blaming the good ol’USA? I thought every country did ... feel left out ....
An almost unknown story: Trudeau‘s father is probably Castro. The timeline and the photo comparison of both at age twenty is pretty much an exact match. Many stories about Margaret and Fidel.
