NGO Transparency International sends message & Gif to Dominica on Venezuela Political & Economic Crisis

​Transparencia Venezuela, the Venezuelan chapter of the NGO Transparency International, has sent what is said is an urgent message to the government of Dominica, concerning the political and economic crisis in the South American country.
 
The organization said that their message is as regards “the position publicly assumed by the Dominica government in international forums such as the OAS, supporting the Venezuelan autocratic regime. The Venezuelan people are suffering violations to their most basic human rights, there is a critical shortage of food and medicines - largely due to rampant corruption and public resources mismanagement - and a suffocating repression of civic demonstrations. Therefore, we send this explanatory message on Venezuela in the form of a GIF, with the aim of informing your country and its citizens of your government’s official position, and the terrible situation in Venezuela.”
 
Dominica was among three CARICOM countries that voted against a failed US-backed resolution on Venezuela, at an Organization of American States (OAS) general assembly in Mexico in June.
 
The resolution included a proposal for a ‘group of friends’ to mediate the political crisis in Venezuela. The resolution also called for President Nicolas Maduro to “reconsider” an assembly to rewrite the Venezuelan constitution.
 
Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit recently pledged his support for Venezuela, following a helicopter attack on the Venezuelan Supreme Court and Interior Ministry. He said no one has a right to “seek to want to remove the President of Venezuela from office” as he is there based upon Venezuelan law, and the Venezuelan constitution.
