By means of the Latin American reflection table, Michelle Bachelet and other Latin American leaders They issued a statement expressing their deep concern about the political and social situation in which Venezuela finds itself due to the position of President Nicolás Maduro and his leadership. The former president of Chile and former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights noted: “The recent announcements by the Venezuelan government go in the opposite direction and require the greatest efforts from governments, political forces and the regional community to ensure that this dictatorial and anti-historical trend does not become entrenched.”
