Henry Ramos Allup, the secretary-general of the opposition Acción Democrática (AD) party and member of the Unified Panel, visited Caracas metropolitan mayor, Antonio Ledezma and a group of workers on hunger strike at Caracas's office of the Organization of American States (OAS).

The political leader said that the OAS has turned a deaf ear to Venezuela's situation, "which is deeper, more serious and older than the case of Honduras."

"The promptness and speed of the Organization of American States, upon request of some member countries which are committed to the implementation of a political project in Latin America, to take decisions in the case of Honduras have surprised us. On the contrary, in the case of Venezuela (…) the OAS has turned a deaf ear to a dramatic situation," said Ramos Allup from the OAS headquarters.
