“The latest actions of the group (OAS) under the leadership of this man (Luis Almagro), who probably receives a salary from the US government, is just another shame, we reject them,” RIA Novosti quotes Placencia.
According to him, this action is an abuse among the US efforts to persecute Russia.
He also called the OAS an anachronistic institution.
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov called the decision to suspend Russia's status as a permanent observer at the Organization of American States a serious mistake.
