Hezbollah: US aim to control Venezuela’s resources and assets

2^min

Hezbollah condemned on Thursday the “flagrant US interference” to destabilize the stability in Venezuela, slamming "the coup attempt against the legitimate authority in the country, which the US stand behind it and support it.”

Hezbollah asserted that it will stand beside President Nicolas Maduro and his elected government.

Hezbollah also stressed that the whole world knows that the US goal “is not to defend democracy and freedom, as Washington claims, but to control the resources and assets of the country and to punish the national states for their political choices that are opposed to US hegemony in the world.”

Venezuela's opposition on Thursday will seek to maintain pressure on isolated President Nicolas Maduro after congress chief Juan Guaido swore himself in as interim head of state with the support of nations around the region.

Guaido won diplomatic backing from the United States, Canada and right-leaning Latin American governments on Wednesday after declaring himself leader before ebullient supporters who thronged the streets of Caracas in hopes of change.

The European Union stopped short of recognizing Guaido as leader but said the democratic will of Venezuelans "cannot be ignored" and called for his "civil rights, freedom and safety" to be respected.

Guaido, 35, an industrial engineer catapulted almost overnight to national leader, has promised free and fair elections, a transition government to revive the hyperinflation-riddled economy and an amnesty for military officers if they help push Maduro from power.
