The position of the Mexican government “is the same as always,” Lopez Obrador said at his daily press conference, adding that his country will adhere to its Constitution and the principles of non-intervention, self-determination of the peoples, and peaceful settlement.
“We hope that there is a dialogue (and) respect for human rights and that there is no violence in any country in the world,” he said.
Lopez Obrador made the remarks after the Venezuelan government denounced an attempted coup.
On Tuesday morning, Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido showed up along with some military personnel outside La Carlota aviation military base in the east of the capital city of Caracas, according to local media.
Guaido called on civilians and soldiers to act against the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
In response, Maduro said late Tuesday in a televised speech that his government had defeated the “small” coup attempt organized by those wanting to provoke a “massacre.”
