The Appalling Hypocrisy Surrounding Venezuela

The author comments on the hypocrisy of the international community and Cypriot political parties regarding the recent US military intervention in Venezuela. She points out that only the French far-right politician Marine Le Pen unequivocally condemned the US action, emphasizing the principle of state sovereignty. In contrast, parties like ELAM initially justified the intervention, while DISY avoided direct condemnation. Foreign Minister K. Kombos limited himself to a general monitoring of developments, and Mitsotakis avoided commenting on the legality of US actions. The author emphasizes that the lack of condemnation of the US intervention creates a dangerous precedent and endangers the sovereignty of smaller countries, such as Cyprus.
