Bolivarian Government repudiates US harassment against Vice President Tareck El Aissami


The Bolivarian Government denounced the harassment by the United States government against democratic institutions and their authorities, regarding the inclusion of the Vice President for the Economic Area, Tareck El Aissami, on a list of “the most wanted” by the administration of Donald Trump.
Through a message spread through the Twitter social network, Chancellor Jorge Arreaza manifested that “Venezuela repudiates the obsessive harassment of the US government against Venezuelan democratic institutions, which adds to discredit campaigns against the dignity of its authorities, by reiterating the total support to the comrade and Vice President for Economy, Tareck El Aissami ”.
His message accompanied him with the official statement of the Ministry of People’s Power for Foreign Affairs, which states that the US government has imposed unilateral and coercive measures that violate international law.
Following is the full text of the Communiqué:
“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela repudiates the permanent harassment by the US government against Venezuelan institutions and authorities, through a wide range of pseudo-legal measures, all characterized by their unilateral character, their coercive intention and being openly in violation of the most elementary norms of the international law.
Being not enough this perverse practice, which generates direct consequences on the ability of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to normally carry out international commercial transactions aimed at providing its population with food, medicines and basic supplies for the normal functioning of the economy and the economy and society, adds now a campaign of discredit aimed at undermining the dignity of the Venezuelan authorities, such as the inclusion of citizen vice president for Economy and Minister of People’s Power for Industries and National Production, Tareck El Aissami in their list of “most wanted” people , allowing the serious affront to qualify this senior official of the national government as a “fugitive” from an alleged justice that the United States intends to arrogate.
By rejecting this grave accusation and disowning any authority from the US government to carry it out, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela reiterates its solidarity support to fellow Tareck El Aissami and informs that it will raise the denounce regarding these and other criminal actions brought forward by the Warmongering Administration of the United States and its lackeys, before the corresponding international instances”.
