The Lima group asked Monday to the Venezuelan armed forces who show “loyalty” to the self-proclaimed “Manager” President Juan Guaidó, leader of the National Assembly of opposition majority.
“We call upon the national armed forces of Venezuela so express their loyalty to the President in charge. Also, you urge, not to prevent the entry and transit of humanitarian aid the Venezuelans”said the Lima group in their joint statement at the end of an emergency meeting. Just this Monday, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, announced during the opening of the meeting of 53 million Canadian dollars (about 39 million US dollars) of humanitarian aid for the Venezuelans.
Trudeu explained that the assistance will be aimed at “to cover the basic needs of the most affected, including immigrants and refugees”.
Of that number, 18 million Canadian dollars (one 13.3 million U.S. dollars) will be earmarked for “Governments affected by the migration so that they can absorb the burden of providing services to the growing population”.
In the final Declaration, the Group of Lima reiterated his “recognition and support” to guided as Chairman of Venezuela and claimed the international community that will give you “its strongest support to establish a Government of democratic transition in” Venezuela”.
In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, Chrystia Freeland, announced that “we are pleased that the National Assembly and the interim President, Juan Guaidó, have asked for joining as members of the Lima group. Today the Group of Lima took the step to welcome the interim Government of Venezuela”.
The Lima group also condemned “the persistent and serious violations to human rights in Venezuela” and rejected “the acts of violence and repression of popular demonstrations by security forces”.
On the other hand, the Alliance urged the international community to avoid that “the regime of (Nicolas) Maduro perform financial and commercial transactions abroad, have access to its international assets and can do business both in oil and gold”.
The Coalition did not address, however, the possibility of a military intervention in Venezuela, according to statements of the British Minister for Europe and America, Alan Duncan, who attended the meeting.
The Lima group, formed by Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay and Peru, together with Mexico who did not participate, met today in Ottawa with the aim of increasing the pressure on the Executive of Nicolas Maduro to leave power.
