Venezuela’s Maduro Rejects US “Intervention” in Honduras

[Zorro]

Yesterday Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro criticised US “intervention” in the internal affairs of Latin American countries, and in the Honduran elections.

US Ambassador to Honduras, Lisa Kubiske, said minutes after the third preliminary announcement from the TSE (Electoral Supreme Court), that she “recognised and respected” the results, as they “coincide” with the reports of US governmental observers. The final results with the full count had yet to be announced at the time, and the LIBRE party and Anti Corrupcion have stated they don’t recognise the results, as they say they have proof of irregularities committed during the voting process.

The results announced by the TSE on Monday gave right wing candidate Juan Hernandez 34.08% of the vote, and Xiomara Castro of the LIBRE party 28.92%, with 67.72% of votes counted.

Maduro also accused the US of spending “I don’t know how many millions” on training the TSE and “teaching Hondurans to vote” and stressed that Honduras is still recovering from the “wounds” inflicted on it by the coup against ex-president Manuel Zelaya in 2009.

1. Maduro can't handle his own knitting, and he's criticizing the sweater Honduras is making!

They're the countries with the worst crime in the world, so I suppose there's solidarity in that....but Maduro should try to dig his own country out of the shithole it is in before he starts wagging his finger around....unless he wants China to own ALL his oil...

And they will, too.
