Although the Venezuelan State has fulfilled all its international commitments, within the established deadlines, risk rating agencies, controlled by the US financial system, have lowered, almost harmoniously, the sovereign rating of Venezuela.
This, as stressed the economist Vladimir Adrianza, is due to the «geopolitical component that goes hand in hand with the US interests», and so he insisted that country risk factor is one of the manipulation strategies undertaken by imperialism to attack the country.
In this regard, he recalled that: «Venezuela is in a war, in a conventional war where elements such as the «guarimba» (riots), the economic blockade and the manipulation of each of the threads of dependence in the country are part of the measures to hit Venezuela».
The country risk factor is calculated by a set of international rating agencies -Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch among the main ones- with headquarters in New York; These private US capital agencies are part of the geometry at the service of the IMF, the World Bank and the European Commission.
