The former heads of States who were vetoed are former Andrés Pastrana (Colombia), Mario Abdo Benítez (Paraguay), Vicente Fox (Mexico), Felipe Calderón (Mexico), Mireya Moscoso (Panama), Ernesto Pérez Valladares (Panama), Jorge Quiroga (Bolivia), Jorge Jamil Mahuad (Ecuador) and Laura Chinchilla (Costa Rica).

An agreement approved unanimously in Parliament urged the Executive Branch to “expel the aforementioned fascists from the national territory immediately.”

Parliament President Jorge Rodríguez considered that the document contained too little and requested that if they tried to enter the country they should be treated as invaders.

He stressed that it should be made clear in the document that “if they dare to tread, even with one sole of their disgusting feet, on the soil of the Bolivarian Republic, they should be treated as invaders, prosecuted, captured and the full weight of the law should fall upon them.”

“They should be treated as what they are: drug traffickers, corrupt, pedophiles and abusers of women,” stressed Rodríguez, adding that if they come by plane or whatever, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces will act as it should in the case of invaders.

The document also repudiated “the nefarious and interventionist statements by a group of fascists from the international far right wing,” who expressed their willingness to be present in Venezuela on January 10 to hinder the inauguration and due oath of the constitutional president of the Republic.

It pointed out that these statements violate international law, and “contain a neocolonialist pretension and arbitrariness unacceptable to the Venezuelan people and democratic institutions.”
