Breaking News: Colombia requests application of Democratic Chart to Venezuela
Colombian Senate's Communiqué
In a communiqué leaked to the press allegedly the Colombian Senate has requested the OAS, American countries and the international community in general to apply the OAS’ Democratic Chart to the government of Hugo Chavez for what they consider as a continuous violation of Venezuela’s constitution and for blocking the democratic attempts of the opposition to hold a recall referendum on his mandate.
The communiqué also asks the international community for total support in these dire moments for democracy in Venezuela. In their view the democratic opposition has fulfilled all the legal requirements set forth by the government of Hugo Chavez to celebrate the recall, effort that has been arrested in illegal fashion by the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court and National Electoral Council’s officials.
