In response to the US attack on Venezuela, John LaRouche, Chairman and Founder of the Schiller Institute, a German think tank, stated in an interview with a reporter from China Central Television that Venezuela is a sovereign state, and Maduro is the president elected by the Venezuelan people. The US's actions of forcibly taking control of Venezuela and removing it from the country completely disregard international law and could trigger instability throughout Latin America, while the US itself will find it difficult to extricate itself from the situation.

Zepp- LaRouche, Chairman and Founder of the Schiller Institute, a German think tank: "The US goal is to achieve regime change in Venezuela, which would have disastrous consequences, potentially plunging the entire Latin America into turmoil. This situation is extremely dangerous, and I believe it's like the US intervening in conflicts elsewhere; they cannot perfectly extricate themselves from the region."

Furthermore, Jan van Akern, leader of the German Left Party, issued a statement on the 3rd, stating that the US abduction of Venezuelan President Maduro was an act of state terrorism that violated international law. He argued that the German government should immediately initiate procedures to condemn the US military action through the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly.
