"The reality is that there is no intention of military intervention. Juan Guaidó did not ask, nobody asked in the hemisphere. The aid and internationalization efforts to eliminate Maduro are currently settled in a peaceful process and can succeed. Disabling a dictatorship, as I know from experience in Cuba, is never overnight. But in this case, it will be much faster than what the Cuban people had to suffer, "said the senator while leaving a hearing during which the Venezuelan file had been discussed.

Menéndez also said that humanitarian aid should be allowed in Venezuela immediately. "The lack of this help to the people of Venezuela only occurs because of the inability of a person (Maduro)"he said.
