"I voted against this resolution, which was a blatant attempt to join in foreign interference in Venezuela, worsening the situation there and increasing tensions.
Despite talking about human rights, aid, and helping resolve the political tensions in Venezuela, the resolution was clearly biased in favour of the Venezuelan opposition, reflecting their demands and claims, while failing to give a balanced view of the situation in Venezuela.
Failing to acknowledge the impact of a fall in oil prices, evidence of economic sabotage, and the effect of a severe drought on Venezuela’s hydroelectric sector, the resolution blames the government for the situation in Venezuela.
The resolution also echoes the opposition call for hundreds of prisoners to be released, included many who were involved in organising violent protests that led to several deaths.
Because this was a blatant attempt to interfere in the internal politics of Venezuela, I voted against this resolution."@en1
