Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders deferred from US President Donald Trump in demanding that he "not support coups d'etat" or "regime changes" in Latin America, after recognizing Juan Guaidó as president by interim of Venezuela.

"We must learn from the past and not participate in regime changes or support state coups, as we have done in Chile, Guatemala, Brazil and the Dominican Republic," he said. Sanders, presidential candidate in 2016, in a statement released last night.

The senator considered that the Venezuelan government Nicolás Maduro "had undertaken a violent repression against Venezuelan civil society, violated the Constitution by dissolving the National Assembly and was reelected last year in an election considered fraudulent by many observers ". Despite this, he rejected the position of the government of his country.

"The United States has a long history in Latin America and we should not continue on this path," he said.

In addition to Sanders, Democrat MP Tulsi Gabbard, who ran for the White House by 2020, also opposed US support for Guaidó: "The United States must stay out of Venezuela and leaving the people We do not want other countries to choose our leaders, so we must stop trying to choose theirs, "Gabbard said on Twitter.

The United States was the first country to recognize him as interim president, followed by allied nations such as Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile and Peru. By the way, Russia, China, Mexico, Cuba, Uruguay and Bolivia have maintained Maduro's recognition as a legitimate head of state.
