The inappropriate resolution represents yet another blatant interference in this country’s internal matters.
On Monday, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) spoke out against a resolution on the Venezuelan political situation adopted by the Organization of American States (OAS).

“ALBA-TCP member states reject the spurious and interventionist resolution of the OAS on Venezuela’s internal affairs, promulgated on August 16, 2024. This inappropriate resolution, primarily promoted by the United States, represents yet another blatant interference in Venezuela’s internal matters and confirms, once again, the servile role of the OAS in Washington’s efforts to push coup plans, disregarding Venezuelan state institutions’ ability to resolve their issues,” it said.
The regional integration organization reminded governments that Venezuela has not been a member of the OAS since 2019, and, consequently, that organization has no authority to address matters related to Venezuela and even less to meddle so tendentiously in its national affairs.
“Venezuela is a sovereign, free, and independent nation, whose wise people have been characterized by their deep democratic and peaceful vocation, even developing a unique model of popular democracy in the world: a participatory and protagonist democracy,” ALBA-TCP stressed.
This organization also demanded respect for the Venezuelans’ sovereign will and the sovereign functioning of their institutions and called on the OAS to “focus on its own issues and the social, economic, and governance crises affecting several of its member states, especially in the United States.”
