Nicolas Maduro Guerra

Nicolás Maduro Guerra, the son of ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, said on Monday that his father has been "kidnapped" by the United States and called for "international solidarity" with him so he can return to his home country in South America.

Maduro Guerra made the remarks during a session of Venezuela's National Assembly, held two days after Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were captured in a US military operation in Caracas. During his speech, Maduro Guerra said the operation violated Venezuela's sovereignty and warned that something similar could happen in another country.

"If kidnapping a head of state becomes normalized, no country is safe. Today it is Venezuela, tomorrow it could be any nation that refuses to submit. This is not a regional problem, it is a direct threat to global stability, to humanity and to the sovereign equality of nations," he said.

"Peoples of the world, I say to you: international solidarity with Nicolás, with Cilia, with Venezuela, is not an optional political gesture, it is an ethical and legal obligation. Silence in the face of these violations implicates those who remain silent and weakens the international system that everyone claims to defend," he added.

Maduro Guerra also referred to his involvement in the recent US indictment of his father, Flores and others, accused of drug and arms trafficking. Maduro Guerra denied the charges. “My family and I are being persecuted,” he said.
