Venezuela reiterates its support for Nicaragua in the UN Human Rights Council
On Tuesday, the Vice-minister for Multilateral Issues of the People’s Power for Foreign Relations, Alexander Yánez, on behalf of the Bolivarian Government ratified his unrestricted support to the Republic of Nicaragua after the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN), Michelle Bachelet, presented a report devoid of objectivity and impartiality about the reality in the Central American country.
The statements were made within the framework of the 42nd Session of the Human Rights Council of the international organization, in Geneva.
In this regard, the Venezuelan diplomat said that Nicaragua is an emblem of peace and democracy in Central America and the world; He added that President Daniel Ortega has shown that social justice is possible even suffering the consequences of a dictatorship such as that of Anastasio Somoza and the foreign domination of an interventionist and neo-colonialist power”.
He noted that despite attempts by undemocratic, violent and terrorist sectors “This country has managed to maintain peace, strengthen democracy and continue on the path to social justice and economic growth (…) Tourism has increased and citizen security has been strengthened, it is the safest country in Central America and the fifth country in the world in gender equality”.
