In his usual press conference early this week, the politician addressed the dangers facing humanity today and said that “a madman runs the empire, criticized by critics of all senses, of all levels, criticized by the world population”.

“It is not only the issue of the aggression against Venezuela, the kidnapping of Nicolas Maduro; it is an imperial process that must be taken care of,” he stressed.

The former presidential candidate for the FMLN pointed out that Washington doesn’t even care about international laws “in order to appropriate the resources” of Latin American countries.

He accused the US authorities of basing their relationship with the world on a policy of force and in the case of Latin America they seek, he said, to place puppet governments to “steal our resources like gold, oil, coltan, steal everything, including land”.

As for the aggression against Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president, Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia, he asserted that this action affects all countries, since it can influence on oil trade and can make prices to rise.

Un his remarks, Flores called on the Salvadoran government “not to kneel” before the United States and take a firmer stance on Venezuela’s aggression.
