Resolution on Venezuela

At their meeting in Spain, IDU’s Party Leaders carried a resolution, which calls upon its members to take notice on the democratic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, which has become worse in the last weeks. Since the Chavez regime took office more than 17 years ago, with the aid of the Cuban communist government Venezuela had gradually become what it is now, a dictatorship. IDU calls its members to take action and to condemn the irregular call for elections and their assessment of the situation of fundamental rights in Venezuela. IDU also expresses its support for the European Council for its position on Venezuela and emphasize the need for it to maintain a firm attitude on the sanctions approved.
