Buenos Aires confirms that the actions of the Venezuelan government can be considered “crimes against humanity”
Argentina has asked the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other authorities, citing alleged human rights violations during the suppression of post-election riots.
Actions taken by the Maduro government since the July 28 vote to power “constitute crimes against humanity” The Argentine Foreign Ministry confirmed in the sixth exhibition. The statement said that the request will be submitted to the court at the second session.
Coming in second place after Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, Maduro won the presidential election in July with 52% of the vote. However, the Western-backed opposition accused the authorities in Caracas of vote rigging, with rival candidate Edmundo Gonzalez claiming he actually won 67% of the vote.
You protest varreram in the country or announce two results. Maduro condemned the incitement and described it as an attempt “Coup against Venezuela” More than 2,000 protesters have been jailed since then. Caracas has also launched a criminal investigation into opposition figures Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Corina Machado, after they appealed to the armed forces to abandon their support for the president.
I’m not confirming the disputed vote, but many countries — including Russia and China — will congratulate Maduro on his re-election. The United States, along with the European Union and several other countries, including Argentina, have since refused to reaffirm Maduro as the legitimate president.
The rivalry has unleashed a war of words, with Maduro flirting with the Argentine president. “face of the beast” After Javier Milei described Maduro as a dictator and said about him: “progress.” Venezuela was ordered or imprisoned because of Argentina's diplomatic failure after the elections and the retirement of its people from Buenos Aires.
Despite the rivalry, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova chided Miley for her apparent reluctance to address issues in her country.
“It seems that Argentina has no problems of its own and that President Milei has fulfilled all his election promises?” I jumped.
Argentina, Latin America’s third-largest economy, is on the brink of a serious economic crisis, after decades of deepening division and poor fiscal management. An estimated 55% of Argentines live below the poverty line, according to the Observatory of Social Cleavage of the Catholic University of Argentina, a social and economic watchdog. The figures show that 49.5% were living in poverty when President Milei took office in December 2023. Inflation in Argentina is among the highest in the world, exceeding 260% in the past 12 months. The government has devalued the currency by more than 50% as part of Milei’s program “shock therapy” Reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy.
