Maduro is waiting for charges, the United Nations will take the floor

As the U.S. Secretary of State stressed, the Americans intend to give Venezuela an chance to address the problems identified by the Trump administration. Rubio himself believes that there are people in this country who can actually make changes, but from the Venezuelans he expects “greater submission and cooperation”. Until the situation is normalized, the Americans do not intend to quit the embargo on Venezuelan oil. They besides claim the right to further sink boats whose crews are suspected of drug smuggling.

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan authorities, after the first shock, seem to be refocusing. A twelve hours ago, the ultimate Court of Delcy Rodriguez ordered the vice president of the country to take over temporary power. “The Venezuelan people will never again become a colony of a abroad empire,” said a politician in a tv message. On Sunday, General Vladimir Padrino, Minister of Defence, assured that the military remained loyal to her. At the same time, he declared that the army had been put on advanced alert. And all to "ensure national sovereignty." The military powerfully rejects this cowardly kidnapping. What happened present to Venezuela could happen to any government in any country," he stressed. He besides called on citizens to return to average activity in terms of work, trade and education.

At the same time, the Caracas authorities called for support to the UN. Venezuelan ambassador to this institution Samuel Moncada in a letter addressed to the safety Council convinces that the US is conducting a colonial war. "They want to impose a puppet government on Venezuela that will let the plundering of natural resources, including the world's largest oil reserves," he wrote. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed "deep concern about the escalation of tensions". The UN safety Council itself will meet tomorrow. Russia, China and Colombia requested this.

But Operation in Venezuela not only at global level, it has sparked discussion. Democratic organization congressmen besides study reservations. According to them, the Trump administration should get Congress' approval for this kind of action. The president himself and his colleagues disagree. – specified authorisation was not essential due to the fact that we are not dealing with invasion. We are at war against organizations that are dealing drugs, not against Venezuela," Rubio argued in ABC.

In a Sunday interview with NBC politicians suggested that akin operations could be expected in the future. He besides pointed to the supporting authorities of Cuba. “I think they are in large trouble,” he said. “I will not tell you what steps we will take towards them, but it is no secret that we are not fans of the Cuban regime,” Rubio pointed out.

Maduro is not the first abroad leader to stand trial in the United States for drug trafficking. As PAP reminds, this was the destiny of president Manuel Noriega in 1990. During the invasion of this country, American troops were captured and subsequently sentenced to 40 years in prison. In 2022, on akin charges, erstwhile Honduras president Juan Orlando Hernández went to prison. After the end of his word of office, he was issued to the U.S. judiciary, which sentenced him to 45 years imprisonment. At the end of last year, however, president Donald Trump decided to pardon Hernández. According to him, the indictment against the erstwhile leader of Honduras was a consequence of political gameplay.
