LATIN AMERICAN nations rejected the European Parliament’s interference in Venezuela’s affairs yesterday after MEPs demanded the release of opposition extremists.
The 11-member Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (Alba) and Venezuela’s MPs issued separate statements in response to the outrageous EU attack.
Foreign ministers from Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Grenada and other Alba nations around the Caribbean had gathered in Caracas for an extraordinary meeting of the bloc’s political council.
