On April 27, 2019, Venezuela will have complied with the final withdrawal process of the Organization of American States (OAS), after two years of the request made by the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro.
This day will be declared a holiday in the country, President Maduro informed this Thursday, because it represents the freedom of Venezuela from the hemispheric body that since 2015, with the election of Luis Almagro as its Secretary General, has intensified the interference against the South American nation, as expressed by the Head of State in the letter sent to begin the separation process.
"The OAS has become a vehicle for openly harmful interventions of the principles and the rule of international law," says part of the text, in which the Venezuelan government also condemns the organization not to pronounce itself before the executive order of the then president of the United States (USA), Barack Obama, who intended to project Venezuela and its Revolution as "a regional threat".
