The nations which make up the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) have rejected threats made against Venezuela by the United States if the South American country goes ahead with a vote for a National Constituent Assembly scheduled for July 30.

“ALBA countries reject those countries that not only ignore the Venezuelan legal system and the constitutional and legitimate government of President Nicolas Maduro, but also put at risk the status of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace,” the organization said in a statement.

Last week US President Donald Trump threatened “swift and economic action” against Venezuela if the vote goes ahead.

But ALBA said the imposition of such measures “constitutes a clear violation of international law and an unacceptable interventionist application of U.S. law.”
