This Saturday, the Brazilian government warned against foreign interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela after the US said it was not ready to recognize the results of the presidential elections.

“We have confidence in Venezuelan institutions… The important thing is for Venezuela society to seek reconciliation because there are many challenges despite the progress made in the past few years,” Patriota said in an interview with the official news agency of Brazil.

Patriota, referring to both the U.S. and the international agencies that have not recognized the victory of Nicolas Maduro, said that "The era of interference by powers from the hemisphere or other regions is outdated and I hope it will not come back".

...

The U.S. secretary of State, John Kerry, and the European Union joined the opposition's call for an audit of the elections, to which the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela agreed on Friday. The CNE warned however that this will "in no way reverse the results that gave victory to Nicolas Maduro".

(Sao Paulo, 20 de abril – AFP).- El gobierno de Brasil advirtió este sábado sobre la “injerencia extranjera” en los asuntos políticos de Venezuela, después que Estados Unidos dijera que no estaba listo para reconocer los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales en ese país.

“Tenemos confianza en las instituciones venezolanas (…) Lo importante es que la sociedad venezolana busque la reconciliación porque hay muchos desafíos a pesar del progreso logrado en años pasados”, dijo el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores, Antonio Patriota en entrevista con la Agencia oficial de noticias de Brasil.

Patriota puso en la mira tanto a Estados Unidos como a los organismos internacionales que no han reconocido la victoria de Nicolás Maduro al decir que “la era de interferencia de las potencias del Hemisferio o de otras regiones es anticuada y espero que no regrese”.

...

El secretario de Estado norteamericano, John Kerry, y la Unión Europea se unieron al llamado para la auditoría de las elecciones, a las que accedió el viernes el Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) de Venezuela, que advirtió sin embargo que “de ninguna manera revertirá los resultados que dieron la victoria a Nicolás Maduro”.

1. Thanks to Brazil for its moral courage.

Interference in Latin America is most certainly outdated, and that's a very polite, generous word for the way it should be described.

May Latin America continue to build the unity which has long been hijacked, stolen, and violated from outside, made possible through the betrayal by the corrupt criminals who schemed, slithered, and bribed their way to power in order to control the militaries, and sell their countries to pompous thieves.

... Patriota is having in this issue. The right-wing mask fell, the US position in the matter is aditional evidence of that.
