PLO official expresses support of Venezuelan regime; US spreads anarchy across world
Headline: “Rafat condemns the failed coup attempt in Venezuela”
“PLO Executive Committee member and Deputy Secretary-General of the Palestinian Democratic Union FIDA Saleh Rafat condemned the failed military coup attempt in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela (refers to Venezuelan opposition calling for protests and a military uprising against the government on May 1, 2019, as part of ongoing confrontations; see note below –Ed.), yesterday, Tuesday [May 1, 2019], in an attempt to overthrow the legal [Venezuelan] President Nicolás Maduro with the support of the US – which constitutes blatant interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs.
In a statement, Rafat noted yesterday that the American interference in Venezuela’s internal affairs is a violation of international agreements and conventions. He added that the coup attempt against the constitution and the elected leadership (Maduro’s election was determined to be fraudulent –Ed.) is a coup against the democratic process, which exposes America’s colonialist intentions and its goals – spreading anarchy through all of the world's states.
He emphasized that it is important to respect the states’ sovereignty and independence. He also emphasized that the Palestinian people stands alongside the Venezuelan leadership led by President Nicolás Maduro against the American interference in the affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and against the agents of the US, who attempted to stage a coup against the Venezuelan people’s values and laws.”
