OAS Refuses to Hear Venezuelan Far Right Leader UPDATED
By Ryan Mallett-Outtrim

Mérida, 21th March 2014 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – The Organisation of American States (OAS) has voted not to hear Venezuelan far right legislator Maria Corina Machado discuss the situation in her country. However there are reports she was able to speak later in the session, but not on Venezuela as an agenda item.

Machado had been offered Panama's seat at the regional organisation to testify on ongoing disturbances in Venezuela, during a meeting today in Washington.

Machado is a fierce critic of the government who signed a decree backing a 2002 coup against the current Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro's predecessor, Hugo Chavez.

Earlier this week, Venezuela's National assembly called for criminal charges against Machado, in relation to her role in recent violent protests.

According to EFE, 22 countries voted against allowing Machado to speak on Venezuela, with three in favour and nine abstentions.

1. Venezuelan Congress Says Maria Corina Machado Has Lost Her Seat

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) The head of Venezuela's congress says leading opposition politician Maria Corina Machado has lost her seat in the legislature and is no longer immune from prosecution for her alleged role fomenting violence in anti-government protests.

Diosdado Cabello said Monday that Machado violated the constitution by addressing the Organization of American States last week at the invitation of Panama, which ceded its seat at the Washington-based group so she could provide regional diplomats with a firsthand account of the unrest.

President Nicolas Maduro referred to Machado as "ex-congresswoman" on Saturday, a few days after arresting two opposition mayors for allegedly conspiring with the U.S. to topple his 11-month old administration.

So pathetic.

Maybe they should just leave all of it to their hired criminals. [/center]
Thank you for this article on a bored, untalented child of the oligarchy, Maria Machado.
