"It
is a reprisal for having democratically defeated the coup, boycott
against President Nicolás Maduro," Bolivia's president
reiterated.
Bolivian
President Evo Morales has rejected a new round of sanctions imposed
on Venezuela by the United States' after Nicolas Maduro was
re-elected as the country's president Sunday.
"We
condemn the unilateral decision that imposes a new economic blockade
to suffocate the Venezuelan people, in retaliation for having
defeated the coup, boycott against President Nicolas Maduro
democratically. Trump must understand that the world is not his
estate," Morales said in a tweet posted late Monday.
The U.S.
along with its right-wing European and Latin American allies have
repeatedly called Venezuela's elections a 'sham' before and after
Maduro won at the polls.
Morales'
remarks come after he congratulated Maduro on his re-election, and
praised it as a victory against foreign interventionism.
"It
is a reprisal for having democratically defeated the coup and boycott
against President Nicolás Maduro," Morales reiterated.
Over 20
million Venezuelans were called to the polls to elect their next
president, where Maduro won with 6,190,612 votes, with a 46 percent
voter turnout.
