Caracas, May 19 (RHC) -- Venezuela has accused the United States of interfering in its affairs, saying Caracas will file a complaint against Washington at the United Nations.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Sunday accused Washington of sabotage and other activities to topple his government. He also accuses the U.S. government of supporting the Venezuelan opposition.

Maduro has urged opposition leaders to seek a peaceful solution to the country's recent political unrest with the help of regional mediators.

Venezuela has been the scene of violent anti-government riots since early February, staged by hardline opposition groups.

Maduro says the United States is backing violent opposition groups to launch a coup d’état in the South American country.

Venezuelan security forces recently arrested nearly 60 foreigners accused of sparking anti-government protests. The arrested foreigners included Colombians, an American, a Spaniard and an Arab, the Venezuelan Interior Ministry stated on May 2nd.
