Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza announced on July 28 that a complaint will be filed with the UN Secretary General against Colombia regarding recent vandalism at his country's consulate in Bogotá.
The incident was neither isolated nor a chance event, taking place within the same time period and with the same characteristics seen in acts of a similar nature against other diplomatic sites, leading to logical conclusions about an old modus operandi that the empire insists on recycling.
Looking to history, we are reminded that on May 7, 1999, NATO planes bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Nor can we forget the serious tensions caused by the 100-day siege of Mexico’s mission in Bolivia, by the puppet government of Jeanine Áñez, in December of 2019; or the raid by U.S. agents on the Chinese consulate in Houston, last July 21, which is still "hot" news.
The assault rifle attack on the Cuban Embassy in Washington, April 30 this year, shook the Cuban people, who remember the hundreds of attacks that have been carried out, inside and outside the U.S. against Cuban diplomatic headquarters and personnel. The silence of Donald Trump's administration in the face of such a serious act, serves to encourage violent groups that began, once again, to threaten a repeat of the attack on other sites.
Such incidents, repeated in too short a period of time and with increasing violence, constitute a serious precedent in a world in which a pack of fascist vandals, headed by the current U.S. administration, are attempting to rule at any cost, with no regard for the law, international treaties, or a minimum of respect for civilized human coexistence.
