A feature in Panam Post says that the Dominican government yielded to pressure from the United States, and after six years of unconditional support for the late President Chavez in Venezuela and his successor Nicolas Maduro, has ended its support of their Venezuelan regime. The feature remarks on the Dominican Republic voting in favor of the resolution proposed by the United States at the Organization of American States (OAS) assembly in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

The passed resolution was promoted by the United States and the 14 countries of the Lima Group, a block that accounts for more than 90% of the population in the Americas: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guyana, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and St. Lucia. This group was joined by the Dominican Republic (a traditional ally of Venezuela), as well as the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Barbados, three Caribbean countries that had already voted in favor of pronouncements against the Venezuelan regime in the OAS.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, eleven other countries abstained: Suriname, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Uruguay, Antigua and Barbuda, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Haiti, and Nicaragua. Haiti, Ecuador, and Nicaragua have maintained a close relationship with the Nicol\u00e1s Maduro regime, but since February have decided not to support Venezuela anymore and have opted to abstain.<\/p>\n

The Panam Post feature points out that the Dominican Republic had been a recent mediator in the fruitless dialogue between Chavez and the opposition and then that of Maduro likewise.<\/p>\n

Mariano De Alba, a specialist in international law, said that the change of position in the Dominican Republic suggests that after the dialogue, Danilo Medina witnessed that \u201cthe Maduro government has no real will to seek solutions to the crisis and what he did was make them waste their time.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Dominican Republic, thanks to the pressure of the United States, decided to support the resolution that is quite sharply critical of Venezuela, and states that in Venezuela there is a serious break with the constitutional order,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
