Pepe Mujica on Venezuela: "Do not stand in front of the tanks"

The former Uruguayan president, José 'Pepe & # 39; Mujica, expressed his opinion on Chavismo's repression in Venezuela, which intensified after Juan Guaidó's declaration of the last stage of the reform. Operation Freedom.

In this context, a video was viralized yesterday in which tanks of the Bolivarian National Guard crush the protesters. Consulted on this, Mujica said that "there is no need to advance the tanks".

"You do not have to stand in front of tanks, it's a scandal."

The leader of the Broad Front, who has avoided participating in one way or another since the beginning of the conflict in February, advocates a solution similar to that of Mexico and the European Union.

"In the closed mouth does not enter the flies, Uruguay moves," said the former president on the position of Uruguay facing the conflict.

Despite the erroneous commentary on the tanks, he added that "whoever goes out on the street is exposed," said Mujica, who expects the Venezuelan conflict to be "a rational way out".
