Orsi's Communist Government Stopped Recognizing Edmundo as President of Venezuela.

The new government of Uruguay, led by the communist Yamandú Orsi, made a decision that threatens democratic stability in Latin America.

In a move unexpected by some, and expected by others, Orsi's leftist administration has decided to disregard the mandate of both the dictator Nicolás Maduro and the legitimate president of Venezuela, Edmundo González Urrutia, aligning with an ambiguous and dangerous approach to the Venezuelan crisis.

The chancellor Mario Lubetkin was responsible for communicating this stance, which openly contradicts the policy of the former president Luis Lacalle Pou, who recognized González Urrutia's victory, based on clear evidence of electoral fraud by the Chavista regime.

In an attempt to downplay the severity of the fraud, Lubetkin stated that neither Maduro nor González Urrutia is recognized as president, suggesting that the evidence presented by the Venezuelan opposition is not valid.

This change in Uruguay's diplomatic stance, which initially supported Maduro's opponents, reflects a dangerous complacency with a dictatorial regime.

While Lubetkin acknowledged that relations with Venezuela are "at zero," his statement about not recognizing any of the elected presidents shows a lack of commitment to essential democratic values.

Unlike Lacalle Pou's administration, which publicly denounced the dictatorial nature of the Chavista regime, Orsi's new communist government avoids classifying Venezuela as a dictatorship, which creates even more uncertainty about the future of Uruguay's international relations.

This relativist stance not only ignores the will of the Venezuelan people but also reinforces a regime that continues violating human rights and attacking the opposition.

With this decision, Uruguay not only distances itself from its commitment to defending democracy in the region but also takes a step back by setting dangerous precedents for the future of Venezuela and the political stability of Latin America.
