Communiqué:
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejects the interventionist and destabilizing politics by the President of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain against the democracy and institutions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The Government of Mariano Rajoy has given support and encouragement to factors of the Venezuelan right wing seeking the overthrowing of the legitimate and constitutional government of President Nicolas Maduro, and permanently has developed an interventionist policy on the internal affairs of Venezuela, violating the duties dictated by the international law in its relations with other nations.
The Kingdom of Spain is experiencing a real crisis of Governance that adds to the social crisis affecting the Spanish people, as a victim of the follies of the economic model imposed by their government to the detriment of the human rights of its citizens. In addition to the evictions which stripped hundreds of thousands of Spanish citizens from their homes, the Spanish people are denied their freedom of expression with the imposition of the Gag Act, which in only a few months of being in force has imposed more than forty thousand sanctions. Spain suffers today the travails of being ruled by the most corrupt political party in its history.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela condemns the double standard of the Government of the Kingdom of Spain, repudiates its interventionist and destabilizing policy against peace and democracy in our country, and demands respect for a free and sovereign Nation, which in a historical lesson demonstrated more than two hundred years ago that there is no empire to dictate orders on our people. With our Liberator, the Father of the Homeland, Simon Bolivar, in a letter to Mr. Irvine on October 7, 1818, we respond to Mariano Rajoy: “Defending ourselves against Spain we have missed a large part of our population, and the rest remaining craves to deserve the same fate. The same thing is for Venezuela to fight Spain than against the whole world, if everyone offends it. “
