Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said he wanted to carry out a “covert invasion” of Haiti at a time when the United Nations is promoting a multinational force to stem violence in the region's poorest country.
“We do not agree with any kind of hidden invasion that brings troops from here, brings troops from there (…) A new invasion is not the solution, call it what you call it, disguise it, whatever They want to cover it up.” “It is not the solution for Haiti,” said the Venezuelan president at the end of the summit Community of Latin American States and Caribbean (Celac).
“Venezuela welcomes the proposal by Celac President of Honduras Xiomara Castro to pursue an autonomous, sovereign aid model that will truly enable Haiti to regain its security and its ability to govern,” Maduro said at the meeting in San Vincent and the Grenadines.

What was the “Caracazo” in Venezuela?
On February 27, 1989, a series of events known as the “Caracazo” occurred in Venezuela. This term refers to a series of protests, riots and looting that began in the capital Caracas and spread to other cities in the country. These events marked one of the most significant social and political crises in Venezuela's contemporary history.
The immediate trigger of the “Caracazo” was the announcement of a package of economic measures imposed by the government of then President Carlos Andrés Pérez in response to the conditions for the granting of financing to the country set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Among the most controversial measures were the liberalization of fuel prices, which led to an immediate and significant increase in transportation costs, and the liberalization of prices for basic goods and services, which led to widespread price increases.
