CARACAS.- The President of

Venezuela

,

Nicolás Maduro

, accused his counterpart in Brazil on Friday,

Jair Bolsonaro

, to encourage a military invasion in his country and called on the Brazilian in uniform to put an end to his "madness".

"I call on the military forces of Brazil to deal with the folly of Jair Bolsonaro and his threat of war against Venezuela," said the president at a mandatory television show, in which he also called the Brazilian "pigeon of the fascist" and "imitator of Hitler".

During an act with leftist movements, Maduro, whose reelection is disputed by more than 50 countries who see the result of "fraudulent" elections, said that a "Brazilian president" had never threatened to invade a nearby city ", and that visit his couple Donald Trump, and his subsequent meeting in Israel with Benjamin Netanyahu, Bolsonaro" has become crazier than ever ".

However, on Monday, Brazil's vice president, Hamilton Mourao, told Washington that his country was not in favor of a military intervention to resolve the crisis in Venezuela.

Bolsonaro, a former right-wing activist, calls the Venezuelan socialist government "a dictatorship". During his last visit to the United States last March, he was in favor of an intervention with Washington.

"We must solve the problem of our Venezuela, Venezuela can not continue like this, they should be released, and obviously we believe and have the support of the United States to achieve this goal," said the Brazilian president at the # 39; era.

Venezuela has fallen under the leadership of Maduro in the worst economic crisis in its modern history, with shortages of basic necessities and hyperinflation that will reach 10 000 000% this year, according to the IMF.

The debacle has pushed 2.7 million Venezuelans to emigrate since 2015. About 100,000 people have entered the southern border of the country, generating tension in the border area of ​​the two countries.

The Trump government, which has renewed ties with Brazil since Bolsonaro arrived in January, is trying to pressure Maduro's departure with sanctions and has repeated that the option of military intervention is not excluded. although it is still premature.
