The pope had called for Venezuela’s sovereignty to be respected after the U.S. military’s lightning raid to capture Mr Maduro in Caracas on January 3.
The French leader said Mr Maduro, himself, rubbished the dignity of the Venezuelan people with his disregard of fundamental rights and freedoms.
“They are seeking a regime change through military threat,” Mr Maduro told journalists.
He said Nigeria’s refusal to accommodate the U.S.might have triggered America’s wrath in reducing multiple entry five-year visas to only single entry three-month visas.
The open letter urged them to stop following the instructions of the incumbent government.
One of the ironies of politics is how easily fiction becomes reality.
Mr. Biden said the U.S. “was built on a foundation of religious freedom and tolerance, a principle enshrined” in the country’s Constitution.
