ELAM Praises Trump's Venezuela Intervention, Drawing Criticism

ELAM has expressed its support for the US military action in Venezuela, describing it as “liberation” and welcoming the overthrow of elected President Maduro. This move has drawn criticism as it contrasts with ELAM's daily condemnation of the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus, and its support for national sovereignty. The article points out that ELAM is using the same rhetoric as the Trump administration, without considering the geopolitical and energy dimensions of the intervention, focusing instead on the ideological conflict with Maduro. This stance is seen as undermining Cyprus's legal arguments against its own invaders.
