BARBADOS HAS PLEDGED to do what it could to help bring Venezuela’s unrest to an end.
Prime Minister Freundel Stuart told the mid-year meeting of the Inter-American Press Association at Hilton Barbados yesterday: “If there is anything that Barbados can do to end that situation and to help the country to settle down so that the elected government of Venezuela can get on with its work, Barbados will use its good offices in that regard.”
He was responding to a question posed by a journalist regarding the possibility of Barbados’ help for Venezuela, as Venezuelans living in Barbados staged a quiet protest in the room against developments in their country where at least 39 people have been killed in protests against the Nicolas Maduro administration which was elected last year.
Stuart said he was aware of “a certain amount of restlessness in the streets of Venezuela”.
