Start of PANEL 1
What actions can the International Community take to accelerate the decision of the International Criminal Court against Nicolás Maduro and his accomplices?
Vincent Fox: “ Young people must be involved, they must be attracted to build their country and its progress. “It’s a big challenge.”
Osvaldo Hurtado, former president of Ecuador: We must develop actions so that the OAS formally asks Venezuela to respect the electoral results.
Andrés Pastrana: “What Petro is doing is delaying the recognition (of Edmundo González). Petro is Maduro’s chancellor, because Maduro gives shelter to the FARC, the ELN and drug trafficking.”
Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, former president of Costa Rica “We cannot live in a preaching of hate and confrontation. We must return to our roots”
Osvaldo Hurtado, former president of Ecuador: “There are three governments that have not taken a definitive position on Venezuela: Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. At IDEA we must find adequate means to reach these presidents who know and are sure that Maduro lost the election”
“Pope Francis does not say a single word, a single condemnation, a single reproach… It turns out that Pope Francis is not a Polish, French or Polish pope. He is a Latin American pope. He should have been one of the first to condemn what “It was happening in Venezuela and other countries.”
“I am concerned that what is happening in Nicaragua or Venezuela will happen in Mexico”
Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico: “We are convinced that in January, the person who should take the presidency is Edmundo González.”
“There is only one way to change a generation and it is through education”
“We must rebuild a system of political parties… We need powerful leadership. I hope we can be like María Corina Machado”
