Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) issued the following statement after he met with the Venezuelan Ambassador to the United States, Carlos Vecchio, and delegation members of the Interim Venezuelan government.
“I want to thank the delegation members of the Venezuelan interim government for meeting with me and Senator Menendez to discuss the ongoing situation in their beloved homeland,” Rubio said. “As the situation in Venezuela continues to deteriorate, we must remain vigilant. Maduro has a long track record of manipulating negotiations to his advantage, gaining international legitimacy, and dividing the opposition. The U.S. must stay the course until democracy is fully restored, free and fair elections are scheduled, and all political prisoners and other prisoners of conscience are released. Only then should we entertain any conversations or consider the removal of direct sanctions against members of the narco-regime.”
Rubio is the Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women’s Issues.
RUBIO SOBRE REUNIÓN CON DELEGACIÓN VENEZOLANA
Washington, DC – El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió la siguiente declaración luego de reunirse con el embajador de Venezuela ante EE.UU., Carlos Vecchio, y miembros de la delegación del gobierno interino de Venezuela.
“Quiero agradecer a la delegación del gobierno interino por reunirse conmigo y el senador Menéndez para hablar sobre la situación actual en su amada patria”, Rubio dijo. “A medida que la situación en Venezuela continúa deteriorándose, debemos permanecer alertas. Maduro tiene un largo historial de manipular las negociaciones a su favor, tratando de ganar legitimidad internacional y de dividir a la oposición. EE.UU. debe continuar abogando hasta que la democracia se restaure por completo, se agenden elecciones libres y justas, y se liberen a todos los presos políticos y presos de conciencia del régimen. Sólo entonces deberíamos entablar cualquier tipo de conversación o considerar la eliminación de sanciones directas contra miembros del narco régimen”.
Rubio es el Miembro de Más Alto Rango del Subcomité sobre Hemisferio Occidental, Crimen Transnacional, Seguridad Civil, Democracia, Derechos Humanos y Asuntos Globales de la Mujer.
