ON JULY 31, Honduras Foreign Minister Enrique Reina issued an important statement with regards to developments in Venezuela, which read in full as follows: “The government of Honduras condemns any attempted coup d’etat in Venezuela — and the use of force by violent groups, calling for respect for the institutions and sovereign will of the Venezuelan people expressed at the polls.”
It goes on to say that, “the electoral process was peaceful and had wide participation. We have recognised the announcement by the electoral authority of an irreversible trend, the only authority responsible for concluding the process of counting…”
And adds that “the international campaign launched before, during and after to ignore elections, loaded with fake news and resulting from those who were not present in the process, is not impartial.”
