Panama City, FL – U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Chairman of the Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues, and Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement in support of Juan Guaidó as the Provisional President of Venezuela:
“On a historic day marking 61 years since the overthrow of a military dictatorship, the people of Venezuela are once again taking to the streets to defend their human rights, democracy and fundamental freedoms. Today, Nicolás Maduro stands exposed as a dictator whose illegitimate and criminal government violates the basic interests of all Venezuelans.
“The Venezuelan National Assembly remains the country’s one remaining democratic institution. We stand in solidarity with Juan Guaidó as the Provisional President of Venezuela and his National Assembly colleagues as they advance a constitutional transition that includes new elections and the restoration of democracy in Venezuela.
“Beyond our support for the National Assembly and today’s protests, the international community must expand coordinated efforts to combat Maduro’s networks of kleptocracy and money laundering. And, we must support initiatives to hold Maduro and his cronies accountable under the rule of law for their ongoing abuses against the Venezuelan people.”
Panama City, FL – Los senadores Marco Rubio (R-FL.), Presidente del Subcomité de Relaciones Exteriores para el Hemisferio Occidental, y Bob Menéndez (D-NJ), miembro de Más Alto Rango del Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del Senado, emitieron la siguiente declaración en apoyo a Juan Guaidó como presidente provisional de Venezuela:
“En un día histórico como el 23 de enero, que marca el 61º aniversario de la caída de una dictadura militar, el pueblo de Venezuela nuevamente ha tomado las calles para defender la democracia, los derechos humanos y sus libertades fundamentales. El día de hoy, Nicolás Maduro quedo expuesto como un dictador cuyo gobierno criminal viola los intereses básicos de todos los venezolanos.
“La Asamblea Nacional de Venezuela se mantiene como la única institución democrática del país. Nos solidarizamos con Juan Guaidó, como el Presidente Provisional de Venezuela, y con sus colegas de la Asamblea Nacional, mientras avanzan hacia una transición constitucional que incluya un llamado a elecciones nuevas y la recuperación de la democracia en Venezuela.
“Más allá del apoyo a la Asamblea Nacional y a las protestas de hoy, la comunidad internacional debe expandir esfuerzos coordinados para combatir las redes de lavado de dinero y la cleptocracia de Maduro, así como apoyar las iniciativas para responsabilizarlo a él y a sus secuaces de sus abusos de poder en contra del pueblo venezolano.”
