See below for the full statement:
The Liberty and Democracy Group categorically rejects the incursion of a Venezuelan
military vessel into the waters of the Essequibo, as denounced by the government of
Guyana. This act constitutes an unacceptable violation of Guyanese sovereignty and a
challenge to international law that must be firmly condemned.
The President of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, has clearly underscored the gravity of this situation
and reaffirmed his commitment to defending his country’s territorial integrity. Guyana
has acted in accordance with international mechanisms, while Nicolás Maduro’s regime
continues to disregard the rules that guarantee peace and stability in the region.
Respect for legitimately recognized borders is a fundamental principle of the global order.
There is no justification for attempting to impose force over the sovereignty of a nation.
The Liberty and Democracy Group calls on the international community to uphold
Guyana’s sovereignty, ensuring that it is not usurped by Nicolás Maduro’s dictatorship,
which seeks to seize the energy wealth of a growing nation with the potential to become
a global model for development.
