Argentina expects India to cut funding from Nicolás Maduro's regime

"India will probably buy more oil in Venezuela, it's something that could be negative for the region", told a group of journalists in the Indian capital the Chancellor of Argentina, Jorge Faurie, who accompanies Macri during his visit.

The head of the Argentine diplomacy badured that it was important to "reduce the funding" of the Venezuelan government to lobby for the abandonment of power, an issue that has not yet been addressed with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It's something that "we still have to talk about," added Faurie.

"I think that in this sense, Venezuela is a very important issue for us because it is a country in our region and we are very touched by what is happening in Venezuela," he added.

Faurie insisted that "Venezuela has a mediocre democracy and an illegitimate government, beyond the discussion of its illegitimacy, it is not a democracy."

"And the condition for being in Latin America is that you have to be democratic," added the Argentine minister, whose government has been ringing with the Venezuelan authorities since the beginning.

The Argentine Foreign Minister's remarks come just a week after Venezuelan Manuel Manuel Manuel Nevado's visit to Delhi, with the aim of reaching agreements that would allow Venezuela to double the amount of oil it sells. India.

The sanctions against the Venezuelan oil industry promise to significantly reduce Venezuela's cash flow, which derives nearly 96% of its revenue from the oil industry, by blocking all badets of the Venezuelan oil company under jurisdiction American, in order to pressure Maduro to leave power.

"Then we must try to reduce the funding of illegitimate authorities and this purchase of oil (by India) was a shock to the region"Affirmed Faurie.

The US government recognizes as the legitimate president of Venezuela the leader of the opposition, Juan Guaidó, who proclaimed himself acting president on January 23, invoking two articles of the Venezuelan Constitution and which has been recognized by fifty countries .

Modi's executive has adopted a neutral stance and asked Venezuelans to find a "political solution" to the conflict, an ambivalence that has generated different readings among conflicting sectors in Venezuela.
