Venezuelan Church condemns ‘morally unacceptable’ government

The Venezuelan Church has announced that it will no longer participate in the “national dialogue” between the pro-Chavez government of Nicolas Maduro and the opposition.

“There are obvious issues that were brought to the table from the beginning of the discussions in October 2016 but these issues have never been addressed,” explained Cardinal Baltazar Enrique Porras of Mérida in the northwest of Venezuela.

Until now, the Church has tried to maintain a dialogue at all costs in order to prevent the country from tipping over into violence.
