Buenos Aires, February 14 (RHC) -– The Argentinian government has condemned what it terms “clear efforts of destabilization” in Venezuela, following Wednesday's clashes which left three dead and dozens injured on the streets of Caracas.

“After recent events in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Argentinian government reiterates its strong support for the constitutional government elected by the citizens of that country, and notes the clear efforts of destabilization that confront institutional order in our brother nation,” the Foreign Ministry signaled in a press release on Thursday.

“The legacy of repression, massive abuse of human rights and deepening of poverty left by the ferocious military dictatorships that devastated Latin America has reaffirmed as a priority duty for democracies of our region an active solidarity and common defense against the actions of authoritarian groups, corporations and those linked to financial and production speculation which pretend to govern by mere force of facts, imposing their sectors' interests and replacing legitimate governments supported by popular will.”
