The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela rejected, through a statement, the new sanctions approved Monday by the foreign ministers of the European Union (EU) against eleven high-rank Venezuelan officials, considering them an act of “continued aggression and interventionist” that attempts against the political peace of the country.
Read the full statement of the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs:
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the continued and intrusive aggression of the European Union, which constitutes a clear interference in the sovereign affairs of our country, by adopting alleged restrictive measures contrary to international law against eleven high officials of the Venezuelan State, approved today by the Foreign Affairs Council.
The European Union undermines political peace in Venezuela by meddling in its internal affairs and endeavoring to apply coercive measures that undermine tranquility and dialogue between Venezuelans and Venezuelans.
It is surprising the blatant subordination of the European Union to the Trump Administration, emulating its actions of aggression against Venezuela, designed by the most extremist and warlike sectors of that government. The multipolar world expects independence in the conduct of the European Union, given the evidence and the danger of the resurgence of unilateralism.
The Bolivarian Government reiterates to the European Union that Venezuela will not accept threats from any power or group of countries coalesced with imperial reminiscences.
Venezuela takes the opportunity to reiterate that the Venezuelan people are sovereign and independent, that their democratic institutions arise from universal suffrage and that they will respond to all aggressions with due proportionality, enforcing the principle of non-interference, respect for national sovereignty and self-determination”
