Caracas, May 26 (RHC)-- Venezuelan Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez has attacked the Organization of American States, the OAS, for failing to address the situation in Brazil, while calling for intervention in Venezuela. 

“The immorality of the Organization of American States and its Secretary General, Luis Almagro, have kept silent regarding the repression in Brazil,” Rodriguez said on her Twitter account. 

She went on in another tweet to point out the hypocrisy of the government officials in the OAS who pushed for aggression against Venezuela's sovereignty, but “today say that the situation in [Brazil] cannot be addressed.” 

With the exception of Ecuador, who brought Brazil forward as an agenda item, participating governments in the OAS refused to speak of the ongoing political crisis in Brazil, with ambassadors arguing that the crisis was a sovereign, internal matter which should not be debated by the OAS Permanent Council. 

The decision to abstain from discussing the scandal-ridden Brazilian President Michel Temer, who has refused to step down amid protests and engaged in military repression tactics, sharply contrasts with the aggression waged by those same OAS allied governments against the democratically elected government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. 

While Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has called for a constituent assembly and the country's electoral board has called for regional elections in December, Temer has taken no democratic measures to help quell the growing unrest in Brazil.
