The Chancellor of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Jorge Arreaza, denounced on Thursday in Vienna, Austria, the onslaught and economic, financial and political aggression of the government of the United States (USA) against the Venezuelan nation, against its Government and against the people.
“The United States proposes to apply the thesis of killing the Venezuelan people by hunger, applying measures that affect the entire economy and the entire population,” warned the Minister for Foreign Affairs during his participation in the International Seminar on Unilateral Coercive Measures and their Impacts.
In his speech, Arreaza exposed the interventionist maneuvers that the US intensifies over Venezuela and its effects on the social programs of the Bolivarian Revolution aimed at protecting the people.
“The control of the world monetary and financial system by the United States has facilitated the blocking of resources of the Venezuelan people. They are 5 billion dollars withheld in world banks, money that was destined to the purchase of medicines, food, to pay for services of the State, to be able to buy parts for the national industry, to be able to guarantee the operation of the Venezuelan oil industry” he explained, and made the mention of that the largest amount of resources is in a bank in Portugal.
He recalled that the government of Donald Trump has confiscated Citgo, “our property in the United States with a value of 30 billion dollars. A blatant robbery of a sovereign nation, and it was not possible to repatriate the profits of the company in 2017, 2018, or now”.
“The United States proposes to apply the thesis of the persecution of the Venezuelan people, applying measures that affect the entire economy and the entire population and for that purpose it finances conspiracies”, explained the Venezuelan diplomat to those present.
He mentioned that authorities of the Venezuelan Government have held meetings with Elliott Abrams, envoy of the State Department for the Venezuelan issues, “and he confessed that they would change the strategy towards the collapse of the Venezuelan economy. A few days later there was a general blackout in Venezuela after a cybernetic attack on the National Electrical System and this month that 19 ships with food were returned because the shipping companies were sanctioned and they are also doing so with the oil tankers”, he revealed.
The chancellor reviewed the doctrines and policies of historical domination that the US has used to justify invasions, such as the Monroe doctrine and the resistance that Latin America has sustained against the imposition of that model, which is the dispute that currently exists in Venezuela, he remarked.
