Opponent Olivia Lozano rejected Alberto Fernández's statements on Venezuela

Venezuela's former opposition deputy Olivia Lozano rejected the statements of Argentine President Alberto Fernández on Monday, who said that the Caribbean country's human rights problems “have been dissipating over time,” a statement that the antichavista called “irresponsible” and “shameful ”.

“While prosecutor Karim Khan announces the installation of an office (of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court) in Caracas to advance investigations into crimes against humanity by the oppressive Maduro regime, President Alberto Fernández makes this irresponsibly and shameful statement,” wrote the former parliamentarian on her Twitter account.

The Argentine president, who asked Latin American countries to review their ties with Venezuela, said that many of this nation's problems “have been dissipating over time,” thanks, in part, to the work of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, and the agreements reached within the framework of the International Contact Group.

In this regard, Lozano argued that these statements represent a “harsh affront to the memory of the victims and families of an atrocious regime such as Maduro's”, as well as a “disservice to justice, reparation, non-repetition, respect for human rights, freedom and democracy.”

“There are no political or philosophical alliances that can justify this,” the opponent added.

On March 31, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said in Caracas that the body he leads will open an office in Venezuela to continue its investigation into the country, following an agreement reached with Nicolás Maduro, with whom he met, privately, during that week, in which he traveled to the Caribbean nation after being invited by the regime.
