Brussels, January 3, 2026 – The European Green Party Breaks the Silence. Concerned by Recent Military and Political Developments in Venezuela, Green Leaders Firmly Remind That Force Cannot Substitute International Legality. For Vula Tsetsi and Ciarán Cuffe, External Armed Intervention Will Only Worsen an Already Devastating Humanitarian and Political Crisis.
A Rejection of « Double Standards »
The Co-Chairs Do Not Mince Words Regarding the U.S. Administration: “We Firmly Condemn Any External Military Intervention or Coercive Action, Including Those by the United States, That Further Destabilize the Country and the Region Without a UN Mandate,” They Declared.
For the Greens, the Diplomatic Consistency of the European Union Is at Stake. They Urge Brussels to Reject Any « Double Standards » Policy and Demand That Every Action Undertaken on the International Scene Strictly Respects the Authority of the United Nations.
Between Authoritarian Drift and Sovereignty
The Greens’ Analysis Is Nuanced: While They Oppose Washington’s Interventionism, They Do Not Endorse the Internal Situation in Venezuela. They Remind That the Venezuelan People Are Caught Between “Authoritarian Practices and Political Repression” of the Current Government and Foreign Pressures.
“Any Detention of Political Actors or Restriction of Fundamental Freedoms Must Imperatively Respect Human Rights,” They Hammer, Highlighting the Continuous Erosion of Democratic Institutions in the Country.
The Path to Sovereign Transition
According to the European Green Party, the Solution Will Come Neither from Arms nor from Outside. The Only Viable Outcome Lies in a Peaceful Transition Process Led by the Venezuelans Themselves.
“The Only Sustainable Path Is a Democratic Transition Based on Free and Fair Elections and Inclusive Dialogue,” Conclude Vula Tsetsi and Ciarán Cuffe. They Urge the International Community to Favor Diplomatic Support and Respect for Human Rights Over Military Escalation.
