CARACAS: The Bishops of Venezuela are insisting once again that their country needs “a radical change in political leadership, which requires from the government sufficient strength, reasonableness, and feelings of love for the country to stop this sea of suffering of the Venezuelan people.”
They call for efforts to be made to find legal, peaceful, and expeditious means to secure a “democratic transition” through early presidential and parliamentary elections “on the basis of freedom and equality for all,” and including the participation of pluralistic observers.
The call comes in a Pastoral Exhortation that addresses the “very serious” situation in which the country finds itself.
