There were a thousand reasons to condemn the regime of Nicolás Maduro: communist, oligarchic, and authoritarian, it had imposed on its people, for far too many years, a suffocating yoke that plunged millions of Venezuelans into misery—when it did not force them into exile.

But there is one fundamental reason to oppose the regime change that the United States has just brought about in Venezuela. The sovereignty of states is never negotiable, regardless of their size, their power, or their continent. It is inviolable and sacred.

To renounce this principle today for Venezuela, for any state, would be to accept our own enslavement tomorrow. It would thus be a mortal peril, at a time when the 21st century is already the stage for major geopolitical upheavals that cast over humanity the constant threat of war and chaos.

All that remains for us is to hope, in the face of this situation, that a voice be given as soon as possible to the Venezuelan people. It is for them to reclaim the power to define, sovereignly and freely, the future they wish to forge as a Nation.
