Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked about the situation in Venezuela and the alternative of dialogue as a solution to the intense crisis in the South American country, the Cuban president announced this Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I spoke with Canada\u2019s PM, Trudeau. I emphasized the need for dialogue with President Maduro based on respect for #Venezuela’s sovereignty and International Law without threats or foreign intervention,” D\u00edaz-Canel wrote on his official Twitter account.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cuban president did not specify when or how the conversation with Trudeau took place. He thanked Trudeau for “<\/span>his opposition to the U.S. Helms Burton Act<\/span><\/a>,” whose Title III allows taking to U.S. courts claims over property confiscated on the island after the Revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez Parrilla also announced through his Twitter account that he had a “cordial conversation” with the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Federica Mogherini, to address the “situation in Venezuela.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The foreign minister affirmed they will maintain this type of contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said he appreciated the European Union\u2019s opposition to the Helms-Burton Act and confirmed the forthcoming EU-Cuba Joint Council meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuba, a close ally of the government of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, reiterated its support for the president during a failed uprising led last Tuesday by Juan Guaid\u00f3, recognized as acting president of Venezuela by more than 50 countries and who ordered the release of opposition leader Leopoldo L\u00f3pez.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guaid\u00f3 asked the population to take to the streets to support this initiative, which generated the response of the forces loyal to Maduro.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuba condemned that action, described by D\u00edaz-Canel as an “attempted coup d\u2019\u00e9tat by the pro-imperialist right, with the complicity of the United States and the region\u2019s lackey governments.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Canada is among the nations that recognize Guaid\u00f3 as acting president of Venezuela and that expressed during the meeting of the Lima Group, held this Friday in the capital of Peru, their full support for the “constitutional and popular process” to recover democracy in the South American country.<\/span><\/p>\n
