Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unveiled a “Democratic Framework for Venezuela”:
“The current crisis in Venezuela isn’t a conflict between two legitimate political factions,” Rubio said. “It is a struggle between an organized crime ring run by Nicolás Maduro and a legitimate and democratically elected National Assembly led by Interim President Juan Guaidó.”
“Secretary Pompeo is right to recognize a peaceful return to democracy led by a broadly acceptable transitional government as the ideal path forward,” Rubio continued. “And such an effort would require the support and participation of the military and key leaders representing a cross section of political views. But it will fail if it sidelines Juan Guaidó and the legitimately elected National Assembly he leads. Or if it includes Nicolás Maduro and certain members of the mafia he controls.”
Rubio is the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
Miami, FL — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió el siguiente comunicado después que el Secretario de Estado diera a conocer un “Plan de Transición Democrática en Venezuela”:
“La crisis actual en Venezuela no es un conflicto entre dos facciones políticas legítimas”, Rubio dijo. “Es una lucha entre una red de delincuencia organizada dirigida por Nicolás Maduro y una Asamblea Nacional legítima y electa democráticamente dirigida por el presidente interino Juan Guaidó”.
“El secretario Pompeo tiene razón al reconocer un retorno pacífico a la democracia en Venezuela liderado por un gobierno de transición ampliamente aceptable como el camino ideal hacia adelante”, Rubio continuó. “Y tal esfuerzo requeriría el apoyo y la participación de los militares y líderes clave que representan una sección transversal de puntos de vista políticos. Pero fracasará si deja de lado a Juan Guaidó y la Asamblea Nacional legítimamente elegida que dirige. O si incluye a Nicolás Maduro y ciertos miembros de la mafia que él controla ”.
Rubio es el presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, Delincuencia Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
