The Chancellor of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, said on Tuesday that the banking entities of Portugal criminally block the resources of the Venezuelan people obeying the orders issued by the Government of the United States.
The diplomat through his account on the Twitter social network, @jaareaza, made such a statement after the statements of the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Augusto Santos Silva, who said that the banks in his country do not receive orders from the central government regarding the blockade of more than 1,700 million euros owned by the Venezuelan nation.
“The Chancellor of Portugal affirms that in his country the banks do not receive orders from the Portuguese government; but it is evident that they do obey orders from the US government. They block in a criminal manner the resources of the Venezuelan people”, wrote Arreaza.
On April 25, President Nicolás Maduro asked the government of Portugal to speak out about the seizing that a bank in that country has on more than 1,700 million dollars that were destined for the purchase of medicines and food, and exhorted the community Portuguese in Venezuela to react against that theft of the resources of the Bolivarian Republic.
He asked the Portuguese government to rule. There are 1,726 million dollars seized by the Novo Banco in Portugal that were for the purchase of medicines, food and supplies.
“Government of Portugal, they are medicines and food that the people need,” said President Maduro, speaking publicly to the authorities of that nation that are illegally applying the so-called “sanctions” of the United States.
“It is not Maduro’s money, but of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, resources that were mostly negotiated for medicines,” he warned.
