Following in the footsteps of Uruguayan President Luis Lacalle Pou, the leftist leader of Chile, Gabriel Boric, also criticized the speech of the head of state of Brazil who said on Monday, 29, that the dictatorship in Venezuela is a matter of narrative. “We are happy that Venezuela is returning to multilateral forums. But that doesn’t mean turning a blind eye. There is a discrepancy between reality and President Lula’s statements,” said Boric during his speech in Brasília, where the meeting of South American leaders is taking place. The leftist stressed that rights must be respected everywhere, regardless of political color. “I am interested in respecting human rights,” said the Chilean, recalling that next year there will be presidential meetings in Venezuela. despite going against Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) regarding the dictatorship in Venezuela, he agrees with the PT that the sanctions against Venezuelans are heavy. “We are going to call on the United States and the European Union to lift sanctions.” On Monday, the 29th, during a joint press conference with Nicolás Maduro, Lula declared that the Venezuelan leader knew the narrative they had built against his country for so long, and also emphasized that the special advisor to the presidency and former chancellor Celso Amorim went around the world explaining that it wasn’t the way people said.
