Morning Star.png Right Wing Calls for Outside Intervention in Venezuela The Morning Star, London, 21 May 2016 Venezuelan rightwingers urged the Organisation of American States (OAS) to intervene in the country to "uphold democracy" on Thursday - a day after they rioted to unseat President Nicolas Maduro. The right-controlled parliament's foreign policy commission president Luis Florido met with OAS secretary-general Luis Almagro at the body's Washington headquarters. The Venezuelan MP asked Mr Almagro to invoke article 20 of the OAS charter, which mandates diplomatic intervention and grants aid to opposition forces should the democratic order of a state be impaired. Former Uruguayan foreign minister Mr Almagro's erstwhile boss, ex-president Jose Mujica, said on Thursday that he greatly respected Mr Maduro - despite him being "crazy as a goat." Mr Maduro, who has called Mr Almagro a "traitor," laughed the comment off, saying: "I am crazy as a goat - crazy in love with Venezuela."
