Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls US relations with Venezuela biased
Confirming the existence of this bias between Venezuela and the United States, Delcy Rodriguez has always urged the US Secretary of State to have open debates on existing human rights models in both countries.

On April 26, Nicolás Maduro, the President of Venezuela, gave an order to begin the procedure of withdrawing from the Organization of American States (OAS).
This reaction was a response to OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro’s call to suspend Venezuela’s membership if Venezuela refuse to hold immediate general elections. The Foreign Minister of Venezuela called the OAS a “Ministry of Colonies” and said that this organization is an effective US instrument to subjugate and conquer countries and peoples.
