== Sanctions==
{{Quote box|quote=The snipers aim at the head, but there comes a time when a squalid (opposition) head is no different from a Chavista head, except in the content. The sound produced by a squalid head is much smaller, it is like a crack, because the cranial vault is hollow and passes quickly. But that is known after the projectile passes through.|source=Roy Chaderton, interview in {{ill|Zurda Konducta|es}}|align=left|width=25%}}
In 2015, the group Venezuelans Persecuted in Exile (Veppex) in Miami asked the Secretary General of the Organization of American States [[José Miguel Insulza]] to sanction Roy Chaderton, then ambassador to the organization, for a controversial statement made during an interview on the program {{ill|Zurda Konducta|es}} of the state-owned [[Venezolana de Televisión]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Piden sanción a embajador venezolano por sus polémicas declaraciones|url=http://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/CMS-15381095|publisher=EFE|date=11 March 2015|access-date=30 May 2018}}</ref> Veppex highlighted in a statement that the description made by the ambassador was "a comparison that incites violence". Chaderton apologized for his comment saying that his statements were taken out of context, and that what he was trying to warn was that in the face of an "invasion by the United States" there would be no distinction between Chavistas and opponents.<ref>{{cite news |title=Chaderton se disculpa por su comentario cargado de 'humor negro'|url=http://www.contrapunto.com/noticia/chaderton-se-disculpa-por-su-comentario-cargado-de-humor-negro/|last=Vielma|first=Oriana|agency=Contrapunto|date=13 March 2015|access-date=31 May 2018}}</ref>
