President Calls for Dialogue,
Understanding, Respect

Addressing a celebration on February 15 marking the bicentenary of the Angostura Conference -- where in the midst of the fight for independence from Spain, Latin American liberator Simon Bolívar delivered a famous speech -- President Nicolás Maduro said the [U.S.] empire has gone mad, believing that the times of the 20th century gunboats and coups can be revived. But, he said, Venezuela's Bolivarian Revolution is giving the world an exemplary class in politics on how to defend one's homeland at a decisive moment for its self-determination. He said the White House has entered an impasse, its coup d'état has failed and that the only way to resolve political controversies and find possible solutions is through dialogue, understanding and respect. He said he is at the disposal of the Montevideo Mechanism put forward by Mexico, CARICOM, Uruguay and Bolivia on February 6, prepared to come with constructive proposals to seek peace and harmony in Venezuela.
