Crowe supports the Venezuelan Government’s call for dialogue

Sinn Féin’s Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, Seán Crowe, has said that the violent protests in Venezuela, which have led to three deaths, have little domestic support.

He stated that the vast majority of Venezuelans are committed to the democratic process and the organisers should heed President Maduro’s call for dialogue.

Deputy Crowe said:

“Since the victory of President Maduro in free, fair and transparent democratic elections in April 2013, right-wing reactionary forces have tried to undermine Venezuela’s democratic process and destabilise the country.

“This week these right-wing forces took to the streets to incite violence, encourage discontent, and bring down the democratically elected Government.
