Mexico City, October 20 (However).– The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silvawarned this Monday about the serious consequences that would have a “foreign intervention” in Latin Americaalthough without mentioning USA y Venezuela, at a time when the President Donald Trump has suggested such a possibility and has even flirted with the possibility of “regime change.”

Lula indicated during the delivery of credentials to the new foreign ambassadors, from the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Brasilia, that it is a “priority” for his Government to maintain the region as a zone of peace, a continent, he stressed, “free of weapons of mass destruction.”

“Foreign interventions can cause greater damage than they are intended to avoid,” stated the Brazilian President, who has also warned of the “growing polarization and instability” that the region is experiencing, reports the portal. G1.

Lula’s statements respond to the confirmation of Trump, who admitted these days to having authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela, which was questioned in the region as it is reminiscent of the tactics that Washington applied in Latin America during much of the last century, even with support for military coups, as was the case in Chile in 1973.

During this event with foreign ambassadors and diplomats, Lula insisted, as is usual in other forums abroad, on the need to commit to a “cordial” multilateralism, but also “based on good commercial and economic relations.”

“Without hatred, without denialism and without hurting the basic principle of democracy and Human Rights,” reiterated the Brazilian president, who has already had his ups and downs in recent months with Trump due to the high rates they intend to impose on exports to Brazil.

For a few months now, Trump has deployed warships in the Caribbean Sea under the justification of its fight against drugs. The United States has bombed several vessels off the coast of Venezuela, which it calls “narco-boats”, leaving 27 dead.

However, even international organizations have questioned this tactic due to the lack of due process and the presentation of reliable evidence of the activity of these people. Leaders of the region, especially the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, have directly accused the United States of murdering Caribbean fishermen.

For its part, the Government of Nicolás Maduro has deployed military exercises in various parts of the country to confront the alleged interest of the United States in undertaking a military intervention in Venezuelan territory.
