Mexico will not attend OAS meeting on Venezuela, critics 'biased attitude'

Mexican President Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday that his government would not attend an extraordinary meeting of the Organization of American States (OAS) to examine the Venezuelan electoral process.

Obrador said Foreign Minister Barcenas would not attend the meeting called by Latin American countries that are opposed to Maduro. He denounced "biased" attitudes from the OAS and its leader Luis Almagro.

The international community has urged President Nicolas Maduro to forfeit his election victory on Sunday after the Venezuelan electoral body signaled a resounding victory for the president with 51.2% of the vote won, prolonging his rule for another six years in office.
