The Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM) has expressed its disagreement with the Maduro administration’s recent political maneuverings in Venezuela. On 30 July 2017, the Maduro-led government carried out a controversial and widely unpopular election to name representatives to a Constituent Assembly that would essentially allow Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to further consolidate his power in the crisis-torn nation.
In a document signed by PRM president Andrés Bautista and general secretary Jesús Vásquez, the party calls on the Dominican government not to recognize the results of the Venezuelan elections and backed a proposal from the Peruvian government to convene a meeting of the Foreign Relations’ Ministers on 8 August 2017 to evaluate the situation in Venezuela.
The PRM condemned the violence that occurred during the elections in Venezuela that caused several deaths and many injuries. The party goes on to say the Venezuelan constitution was violated along with universal democratic principles.
