The National Government condemned on Wednesday the sanctions measures by the government of the United States against the Vice President of the Republic of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo, along with the presidential private Secretary, Néstor Moncada.
Last Tuesday, the Government of Donald Trump formalized a series of sanctions against Murillo and the National Security Advisor of the Central American nation, Néstor Moncada Lau, among which are the prohibition to any US company or citizen from conducting negotiations with the designated ones, who are not allowed to enter the country.
Given this, the Government of Venezuela, through a statement issued by the Venezuelan Chancellory pointed out that: “the aforementioned unilateral coercive measures are intended to affect the stability of the brotherly Nicaraguan people and constitutional government. Once again, the intention is to propitiate scenarios of political violence and economic distortion in order to favor a change of regime in the Homeland of Sandino”.
Following, the full text:
“The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela categorically rejects the sanction measures announced by the government of the United States against the Vice President of the Republic of Nicaragua, companion Rosario Murillo, along with the private presidential secretary, Néstor Moncada.
The aforementioned unilateral coercive measures are intended to affect the stability of the brotherly Nicaraguan people and constitutional government. Once again, the intention is to propitiate scenarios of political violence and economic distortion in order to favor a change of regime in the Homeland of Sandino, in violation of the fundamental principles established in the Charter of the United Nations.
The Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela expresses its unrestricted support and solidarity with the Constitutional Government of Nicaragua, in particular with President Daniel Ortega, the companion Vice President Rosario Murillo, the private presidential Secretary, Néstor Moncada, as well as the entire Nicaraguan people. Whatever the difficulty, the risk or the circumstance of struggle, may Nicaragua count with the irreducible and unconditional commitment of the People of Bolívar”.
