Venezuela on Friday accused the Lima group of fomenting a coup with Washington's support, France Presse said. The Venezuelan government has rejected President Nicolás Maduro's proposal to renounce a new mandate on January 10 and to transfer power to parliament.
In a statement read by Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza, Venezuela expresses "its greatest perplexity at the extravagant statement of a group of countries in the Americas who, after receiving instructions from the United States Government, United by videoconference, agreed to encourage a coup ".
Earlier, Arreaza had criticized the Lima group for Twitter, calling the council "humiliating subordination" in the United States.

"What we have said since the creation of this group of governments united against Venezuela and which, in theory, does not belong to the government American: they met to receive orders from Donald Trump through Mike Pompeo What a demonstration of humiliating subordination! "he writes.
The Lima group, which includes Brazil and 12 other countries, announced this Friday (4) in the Peruvian capital, which will not recognize the Venezuelan government if President Nicolás Maduro took a new mandate on January 10, believing that it was the result of illegitimate elections.
The decision was not unanimous because Mexico, now reporting to Andrés Manuel López Obrador's left-wing government, refused to sign the declaration.
"We have presented here the very clear proposal to add in the statement an exhortation to Maduro not to badume the second term, which would start on January 10th, as everyone knows, this term does not include the following: is not the result of legitimate elections, "said Brazilian Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo, who made his first international trip to power.
The Lima Group was created in 2017 at the initiative of the Peruvian government to lobby for the restoration of democracy in Venezuela. In addition to Brazil and Peru, there are 11 other countries in the group – Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and Paraguay.
