The Venezuelan Government Tuesday announced that it would denounce before the Organization of American States (OAS) recent "aggressions" from the United States.

The complaint stems from US officials' statements, according to which Venezuela is permissive regarding the drug traffic in Latin America.

Last week, US Drug Czar John P. Walters said in Bogota that Venezuela was not taking efficient moves to fight drug smuggling.

In response to these remarks, Venezuelan ambassador to the OAS Jorge Valero will request the floor on Wednesday in order to "denounce aggressions," reported the Venezuelan embassy in Washington.
