Caracas -The Venezuelan government is showing on Monday total willingness to engage in a national dialogue with all opposition sectors to resolve political differences without foreign intervention, President Nicolas Maduro said.

During an interview with the Associated Press (AP), broadcast by Venezolana de Television state-owned channel, the president said he was ready to talk with all opposition parties in the country in order to impose peace and 'do not keep blowing the drums of war.'

Maduro reiterated the proposal to hold in advance this year the elections of the National Assembly (Parliament), an opposition majority entity declared in contempt since 2016 by the Supreme Court of Justice for swearing in three legislators suspended for electoral irregularities.

The head of State said that he is waiting for an arranged roundtable discussions through the Montevideo Mechanism -boosted by Mexico, Uruguay, Bolivia and 14 Caribbean Community countries- from which a date for these elections emerge, as a first step to resolve differences through peaceful and democratic means.

Venezuelan opposition sectors staged an attempted coup d'etat through the self-proclamation of a so-called transitional government led by legislator Juan Guaido, who received automatic support from the U.S. administration of Donald Trump.

Maduro stressed about this issue that Guaido repeatedly violated the Venezuelan Constitution and has legal responsibilities for crimes committed on a continuous basis.

The president also described the self-proclaimed 'interim president' as a circumstantial instrument of the Washington government in its continued hostile policy.

Given the constant aggressions the White House has promoted, Venezuela is receiving humanitarian aid from the United Nations, as part of a plan without political ends, the president said and assured that the Bolivarian government is capable of paying for everything the South American nation demands.Nicolas Maduro Pleads for National Dialogue without Interference
