It Serves Them Right

It Serves Them Right

In a recent television address Venezuelan President revealed a plot of 3 of the U.S. embassy staff in his country and declared they be expelled from the country. He said those embassy staff in collusion with anti-government forces in Venezuela had engaged in creating domestic instability.

The step has been taken to defend the country's sovereignty and, therefore, enjoys the support both at home and abroad.

But far from apologizing for their plot, Washington brings pressure to Venezuela, openly interfering in Venezuela's domestic affairs.

The U.S. regards Venezuela as a thorn in its flesh. Why?

Maduro was nominated for President by Chavez in his lifetime. In his election commitments Maduro pledged to be loyal to his predecessor in all his policies. This earned him support of his people.

Chavez's political aim was to build socialism in Venezuela.

He also played a certain role in rearranging political structure of Latin America gripped tightly by invisible U.S. claws.

Chavez's death delighted Washington. It hoped for a new person who could help in U.S. control over that country. But things went against their wishes. The Venezuelan people voted for Maduro.

When election returns were made public, Washington shouted no. It came out with an outrageous demand that election returns be investigated again, for that would facilitate political talk and democratic process. It was indeed a wanton interference in other's domestic affairs, which met with a strong opposition of the local people.

Despite the uninterrupted U.S. schemes to subvert the legal government in Venezuela, the people go staunchly the way of their own choice. No force on earth can check their triumphal advance.
