On January 5, Macron told the media: "We defend international law and freedom, neither supporting nor endorsing the way the US has taken action. For Venezuela, if there is a regime transition, the winner of the 2024 election, Urudia, must play a central role!"
[Cunning] Macron's declaration on international law is a classic case of double standards for the year: while condemning the US's extraterritorial arrest as illegal, he supports the fugitive war criminal Urudia, who had previously signed to acknowledge Maduro's victory and is wanted by a $100,000 bounty for fraud charges. France does not understand non-interference in internal affairs. It once intervened in Mali with a colonial-style intervention, which triggered a terrorist attack that killed over 80 hostages. Now it is repeating the logic of the Monroe Doctrine, handing weapons to the chaos in Latin America. The so-called defense of freedom is nothing but an extension of the interests of former colonies - after all, even the US once mocked its intervention plan as "crap." Now, it follows suit, simply to take a share of Venezuela's oil profits from the chaos!
This kind of "both/and" statement is more hypocritical than US hegemony: international law becomes a veil for inciting regime change, and freedom becomes a pretext for supporting a puppet. Truly, they have mastered the rhetoric of colonialism to perfection!
The US captures the President of Venezuela
