Samuel Moncada, Venezuelan ambassador to the United Nations, raised the need for the moratorium on the debts of the poorest countries, as well as special food programs and scientific cooperation, to help the most disadvantaged nations face the global economic crisis, as a consequence of the Covid-19.
“A moratorium on national debts should be imposed, equip health teams, accelerate scientific cooperation, create food programs for the most vulnerable who will suffer from the economic depression that is already breaking out in the world. The United Nations must act”, he said on Twitter.
Moncada insisted that international humanitarian aid must be a priority on the global agenda, leaving aside the imperial interests of countries such as the United States.
“That is a proposal to save the world totally opposed to the supremacist and genocidal racism of the current Trump administration. The pandemic cannot be used as an ‘advantage’ to conquer enemies. It is the moment of cooperation for the salvation of all humanity!” He added on the social network.
In this sense, he warned that amidst the coronavirus pandemic, US President Donald Trump insists on imposing an illegal transitional government and depose Venezuela’s constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro.
“When the US experiences its biggest ‘complex humanitarian emergency’ in a century, what is the priority of its leaders? To start a war of extermination against the Venezuelan people. A genocidal plan that they hide in the tragedy of all humanity”, he noted.
One of the messages is accompanied by a report from the Reuters agency, which indicates that the fuel shortage in Venezuela is due to the request made by the United States government in 2019 to foreign companies not to supply gasoline to our country and to only provide diesel, a restriction that was ordered again in March of this year, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Trump’s genocides celebrate that his actions have already deprived the Venezuelan people of essential gasoline for the survival of the civilian population. They decree the extermination of millions of innocents in the worst possible circumstances. They are guilty of crimes against humanity”, said Moncada.
