Guaido Requests a Military Intervention Against Venezuela Invoking the R2P Doctrine


September 26, 2020
By Mision Verdad – Sep 24, 2020

In a parallel and informal zoom video-chat accompanied by some delegations in the framework of the 75th General Assembly of the United Nations, the outgoing Venezuelan deputy Juan Guaidó gave a speech supposedly representing the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

The [speech] was not included in the institutional panel and took place just minutes after the official [speech] of President Nicolás Maduro before this Assembly. Guaidó, again, made serious and worrying statements that were later reinforced on his social networks.

The outgoing deputy affirmed that the blockade measures are not generating the expected effect against Caracas, therefore he asked the international community to consider contemplating “scenarios” to “reestablish” democracy in Venezuela, after “all avenues have been exhausted” to consolidate the dismantling of the Venezuelan government.

In a nuanced but open way, Guaidó made a request for foreign intervention in Venezuela invoking the doctrine “Responsibility To Protect” (R2P), which has been implemented in countries that have been militarily invaded by USA in recent decades.

He should light a candle every day simply for not being jailed as an insurrectionist. He hasn't a shadow of legitimacy as a political figure.
