MADURO: "Venezuela declares with absolute clarity: we do not accept and will not accept any form of tutelage.
We reject the idea that, under euphemisms like 'security' or the 'fight against drug trafficking', there should be an attempt to impose the old Monroe Doctrine that seeks to turn our America into a stage for invasions and regime-change coups to steal our immense wealth and natural resources.
We firmly reject the resurgence of the Monroe Doctrine and raise, in response, the Bolivarian Doctrine in defense of the independence, unity and emancipation of our peoples."
